Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S3 Ep14 — Fernando Sordo Madaleno
Q: When did the London office open and how does it relate to the Mexico City studio?
The London office opened in 2023 as an extension of the family practice, intended to stay tightly connected with the Mexico City base. They describe daily collaboration between the UK and Mexico studios, aiming for unity in thinking and design rather than a separate, isolated branch.
S3 EP02 — Shiv Malik
Q: What makes Forest City unique besides being first in Britain in decades?
Three pillars: a community land trust to keep land value uplift down the line, Canary Wharf–style incentives to attract business, and a forest integrated into the urban fabric to redefine the relationship with nature.
S3 EP02 — Shiv Malik
Q: How did you settle upon the place and the land for Forest City?
The choice centered on locating near Cambridge with large, affordable agricultural land, ensuring proximity to an agglomeration hub, and securing space for a full city with 400,000 homes and a central business district.
S3 EP02 — Shiv Malik
Q: Tell me about Joe, who is he?
Joe Reeve is described as a dynamic campaigner with the energy to push unusual housing ideas, who co-founded Forrest City and catalyzed the Look For Growth movement to push for large-scale urban projects.
S3 Ep11 — Liam Young
Q: Is the scale of your work a direct response to right populist narratives?
He argues that planetary imaginaries aim to counter right-wing fossil-fuel and tech narratives by presenting aspirational, pragmatic futures that are grounded in science and collaborative action, not sacrifice.
