The Politics of Regeneration: Baron John of Southwark on Building Homes in London
<p>In this episode of Architects for Change, Jay Morton speaks with Peter John, former Leader of Southwark Council and now a member of the House of Lords.Peter led Southwark for a decade during a period of major change across London. Under his leadership the borough delivered significant estate regeneration, new council housing and large scale urban transformation projects.Jay and Peter discuss the realities of delivering housing in London, the politics of regeneration, and what local government can and cannot do to tackle the housing crisis. They explore how councils balance growth with community concerns, why planning has become increasingly politicised, and what needs to change if the UK is going to deliver the homes it desperately needs.The conversation also reflects on Peter’s move into the House of Lords and what role national policy can play in enabling better housing delivery.A thoughtful discussion on housing, politics and the difficult decisions behind city making. #architecture #southwark #elephantandcastle #houseoflords #uklabour #labourparty #politics #podcast #planning #housing #1.5millionhomes</p>

People Move to Places, Not Buildings: Nick Searl on King’s Cross and Beyond
<p>Nick Searl has spent nearly two decades shaping some of the UK’s most ambitious regeneration projects. Trained as an architect, he played a pivotal role in the transformation of King’s Cross and later led the delivery of Brent Cross Town. In this episode of Architects for Change, Nick reflects on what really made King’s Cross work: building trust before drawings, agreeing shared principles, and investing early in public space, culture and everyday life long before homes and offices were complete. We explore why people move to places, not buildings; why sound, joy and human experience matter in city-making; and why doing “the engaging stuff” first is not a nice-to-have, but fundamental to successful regeneration. With the government’s new towns agenda back on the table, Nick shares hard-won lessons on infrastructure, viability, political will and public-private partnership — and why measuring success purely by housing numbers risks repeating past mistakes. We also look ahead to what Nick is working on now, the role architects need to reclaim in shaping cities, and why — despite everything — he remains optimistic about the future of large-scale urban development. #architecture #podcast #politics #economy #realestate #masterplannedcommunity #masterplanning #urbandesign #1.5millionhomes #labourparty #relatedargent #kingscross</p>
