In the second episode of Design Exchange, host Richard O’Neill, Strategic Director at HLM Architects, is joined by Olivia Jackson and Martyn Saunders to tackle one of the most persistent challenges in the built environment around viability.
With rising costs, skills shortages, planning delays and a volatile geopolitical backdrop making large-scale regeneration harder than ever to deliver, the panel works through the funding mechanisms available, the case for accepting short-term risk in exchange for long-term returns, and why a clearly defined relationship between the public and private sectors is the foundation on which viable regeneration has to be built.
