Season 2, Episode 2, Nov 21, 2023, 05:00 AM
Our guest in episode 2 of Building Talks… Creating Communities is Selina Mason, director of masterplanning and strategic design at Lendlease.
Selina has been at the heart of debates around urban design and how we build better cities for the last two decades. Few people have the wide-ranging experiencing of public and private sector that she draws on to inform her approach to practice.
In her current role she is overseeing the development of the massive Smithfield masterplan in central Birmingham, but in her previous jobs, she has been director of architecture and design review at CABE, and was closely involved in the design of both the 2012 Olympics, and the delivery of the games’ legacy.
She is a huge advocate for a greater focus on people-focused urbanism, and in this podcast interview, she highlights the need for engagement and consultation.
