This week, Danni Hunter, social futurist and infrastructure expert, joins us to explore the links infrastructure, community, and societal progress bring. The big exchange for Danni is how do we get government, industry, and communities to address key challenges like the housing crisis, energy transition, and urban development.

We look at the cultural shift of the “home” and unpacks the policy, tax and investment frameworks needed to support and create long term social growth.
