Rethinking London’s Green Spaces

In this Open House special episode we will be talking about green spaces -- London’s greatest public treasures loved by everyone -- and their future during a time of climate crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic. Specifically this episode will be focussing on Grosvenor Square in Mayfair which is poised to undergo an ambitious renewal to unlock its full potential as an urban oasis meeting the needs and expectations of our twenty-first century capital.

Perhaps the new Grosvenor Square and the deep ongoing discussions around its transformation -- during this extraordinary moment of the pandemic -- may offer a new template for other public spaces in these challenging times. Hosted by Merlin Fulcher and Zoe Cave this podcast episode explores some of the key conversations and actions needed to make London’s public spaces greener and more inclusive.

This episode was brought to you by Open City and Grosvenor Britain & Ireland, with special guests including:

Edward Green, associate director at Grosvenor and the project lead for the redesign of Grosvenor Square.

Catherine Greig, director of Make:Good, an architectural and design studio involving people in shaping neighbourhood change.
