Embark on a journey through the intertwined paths of public service and urban development with Nick Walkley, our guest whose storied career of leading London Boroughs, Homes England and now at Avison Young provides unique and humble insights. It's not every day you get to pick the brain of someone who has been instrumental in the growth of places and the forging of alliances across the public and private sectors. As you tune in, you'll find yourself captivated by tales that reveal the symbiotic relationship between communities and the spaces they inhabit, and how a values-driven approach can make a world of difference in tackling economic challenges and austerity.
The heartbeat of any place lies in its leadership and the collective resolve to grow and innovate. Nick opens up, from being a university student seeking horizons beyond Huddersfield, to becoming a witness and participant in the vibrant upswing of cities like Liverpool and Manchester. The potential for urban renewal is not lost on smaller cities either, as we discuss Norwich's prospects for unlocking growth. As our conversation unfolds, you'll gain a renewed appreciation for the influential role of mentorship and the deep-rooted impact that a well-envisioned cityscape can have on its citizens.
Wrapping up with a topic close to many hearts, we tackle the UK's housing crisis and the complex factors that underpin our housing market. Explore with us the innovative solutions and entrepreneurial spirits that could reshape UK home building, inspired by Nick's eye-opening experiences with Japanese housing factories. This episode is an invitation to explore how leadership, community engagement, and innovative thinking are not just reshaping skylines, but nurturing the very soul of urban life.
