Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

394I_Harriet Shing, MP for the Eastern Victoria Region. Minister for Housing and Building, Precincts and Development Victoria, and Suburban Rail Loop
Q: What does the city mean to you and how do you define Melbourne in your work?
Melbourne is defined by its geography, density, and growth patterns, with an emphasis on living well, access to services, and leveraging big infrastructure to support a dynamic, inclusive urban fabric.
394I_Harriet Shing, MP for the Eastern Victoria Region. Minister for Housing and Building, Precincts and Development Victoria, and Suburban Rail Loop
Q: Are you interested in the government's role for the future of cities?
The guest describes a model where government creates protections, standards, and planning frameworks to balance market activity with long-term livability and affordability, including reforms in planning and building to ensure safety, transparency, and access to homes.
398I_Bradford Cross, CEO of Alpha City and Managing Partner at Pronomos Capital and Two Lions
Q: How do you view capitalism when exporting it to developing regions?
Promote entrepreneurial capitalism that enables bottom-up growth with access to data and capital, rather than crony capitalism or heavy-handed neoliberal projects; focus on creating assets that people can own and leverage for future opportunity.
398I_Bradford Cross, CEO of Alpha City and Managing Partner at Pronomos Capital and Two Lions
Q: What is the government's role in establishing the future of cities?
The sovereign states remain accountable for their borders, but execution and governance can be decoupled from politics; private-sector-led implementation with legal frameworks and central-bank oversight can run crypto-enabled zones efficiently.
398I_Bradford Cross, CEO of Alpha City and Managing Partner at Pronomos Capital and Two Lions
Q: What does the future of cities mean to you?
Cities are the frontline of governance and daily life, and their future rests on decentralization, better infrastructure, and governance models that empower local decision-making through data and technology rather than centralized command.
