This week’s guest is Victoria Lee, lead advisor on Masterplanning & Infrastructure at the Design Council. Victoria has more than 12 years of experience in built environment and has supported over 300 development projects both in the UK and internationally. 

We spoke about her work on and interest in delivering resilient and inclusive cities, and especially about the role of megaprojects such as the Olympic Games in scaling the impact of good design; her early work on bioremediation and why we need to talk about soil more, including the children’s book series she’s writing on that subject; privately operated public spaces and the politics of design, including how language takes on material form in our built environment; and how useful the word ‘sustainability’ is for defining the radical steps we need to take to combat climate change.
