Description

We get mad about a new document published by the government that seems like a beginners guide to jamming up the build-out of new energy infrastructure. And we speak to the amazing YouTuber CityEd, all about architecture, urban design, and how to build liveable cities.

James has written an accompanying piece about the NIMBY charter here.

James’s piece about Liam Byrne – and whether he’s had his Weetabix is here.

Martin’s newsletter is here.

You can read the CIA field manual here.

Our previous episode mentioned by Ed, featuring Sally Gimson talking HS2 is here.

Don’t forget to tell your friends about the pod – and leave us a nice review on Apple Podcasts!
