Every major project wants to create a legacy, but how is it done? Does it come about organically or should it be planned for and worked towards? If so, when is the right time to talk about it and what are the steps to deliver it?

Since - once a project ends - legacy will be what's left behind... shouldn't it be a vital part of any project's design?

What are some examples of legacy planning done well, and where has legacy not worked out as hoped for?

Flood risk planning has a particular emphasis on legacy, which is why it is something that Project Groundwater itself has valued and considered. Two of the architects of Project Groundwater's own legacy planning - Karen Fisher (Senior Associate Director, Jacobs) and Kat Edwards (Co-Founder, AxiaOrigin) join host Katie to discuss this often-overlooked subject.
