GreenLite delivers private construction plan review as an alternative to traditional city permitting processes. After spending six months testing both sides of the construction permitting transaction, the company identified owner-developers as their ICP and built a business model around Florida's privatization legislation—legislation that has now expanded to nine additional states including Texas, Tennessee, and California. In this episode of BUILDERS, we sat down with James Gallagher, CEO and Co-Founder of GreenLite, to explore how his fifth startup leveraged regulatory shifts, rejected workflow software in favor of outcomes, and scaled by targeting chief development officers at enterprise retailers struggling with permitting delays. Topics Discussed: How GreenLite discovered architects were heavy users but wrong customers due to two-part sales dynamics Why owner-developers became the ICP after six months of customer discovery across applicants and agencies The accidental discovery of private plan review through conversations with Fort Worth and Miami-Dade agencies GreenLite's platform combining regulatory permissions, licensed AEC professionals, and AI-augmented software How natural disasters and AEC talent shortages are accelerating privatization legislation nationwide Cold email strategies that converted enterprise retailers by surfacing acute pain points GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Map two-sided markets to find where purchasing authority and pain intersect: GreenLite pitched a CTO at a major architecture firm who responded positively but said "I just need to talk to my client, my customer." This revealed architects required approval from owner-developers despite being the heaviest product users. James pivoted to owner-developers who "carry the land, carry the construction loans" and feel revenue delays most acutely. The lesson: usage intensity doesn't equal buyer authority. In complex ecosystems, systematically test which party controls budget and feels enough pain to sign contracts independently. Recognize when procurement cycles kill early-stage validation velocity: Cities explicitly told James their "crazy procurement cycles" made early partnership impractical despite genuine interest. State and local education and government sales require specialized expertise and extended timelines that prevent rapid iteration. James chose to prove the model with private sector customers first. For founders: government can be a lucrative eventual market, but unless you have sled sales expertise and 12+ month runway per deal, validate PMF elsewhere first. Capitalize on regulatory tailwinds before markets realize they exist: Only Florida permitted private plan review when GreenLite launched in July 2022. By late 2024, nine states passed enabling legislation driven by natural disaster reconstruction needs and talent shortages in city building departments. James positioned GreenLite to ride this wave rather than selling transformation to resistant agencies. Founders should monitor legislative and regulatory changes in their verticals—new compliance requirements or permissions can suddenly open massive TAMs with minimal incumbent competition. Enterprise cold email converts when you surface non-obvious acute pain: GreenLite cold emailed chief development officers at major retail chains and quick-service restaurants with "Are you missing your openings due to permitting?" The response rate validated that permitting delays—not site selection or construction costs—were a critical path blocker for store rollout velocity. James targeted CDOs rather than real estate or design teams because they own the full development timeline. For enterprise sales: identify the executive accountable for the metric your solution impacts, then lead with how you move that specific number. Validate outcome-based models before building sophisticated workflow tools: GreenLite's customers rejected "another workflow product or system of record" that required API integrations with their ERPs and construction management systems. Instead, they wanted "faster, more predictable, more transparent permits." James built a viable business delivering finished permits through licensed professionals augmented by software, with the AI sophistication coming later. The business was "super viable well before the product was" by early 2023. For founders in industries resistant to software adoption: test whether buyers want tools to operate or outcomes to purchase—outcome-based pricing can achieve PMF faster and command premium willingness-to-pay. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

What if a powerful climate solution in cities isn't a new building, but the roof that's already there? As heat waves intensify across Europe, architect and MIT-trained educator Olivier Faber explains how his firm, Roofscapes is transforming overlooked rooftops into cooling, accessible, green infrastructure. Starting with Paris's iconic zinc roofs, the conversation unpacks why existing buildings are misaligned with today's climate, how shading and vegetation can dramatically reduce indoor temperatures without air conditioning, and why renovation and adaptation may matter more than new construction in the decades ahead. Along the way, Olivier reveals the political, technical, and cultural battles behind testing climate solutions in historic cities, and why climate adaptation is about changing how we value the buildings we already have.Thumbnail Image courtesy of RoofscapesSubscribe to Most Podern on:Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3zYvX2lRZOpHcZW41WGVrpApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/most-podern-podcast/id1725756164Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@MostPodernInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/most.podernLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/most-podernKeywordsarchitecture, climate change, renovation, urban design, sustainability, Roofscapes, green roofs, preservation, adaptation, building practices, Paris, urban design, heat island effectChapters00:00 Background and Journey into Architecture00:51 Exploring Alternative Architecture Practices03:52 Introducing Roofscapes and Its Mission06:17 Physical Adaptation: Before and After07:16 The Challenges of Zinc Roofs in Urban Design10:29 Innovative Solutions for Urban Heat Management11:34Pitching Green Roof Solutions to Building Owners14:08 Navigating the Complexities of Building Regulations17:14 Measuring the Impact of Climate Adaptation Projects24:09 Future Directions for Climate Adaptation in ArchitectureLinksOlivier Faber - https://www.linkedin.com/in/olivier-faberRoofscapes - https://www.roofscapes.studio/MITx - https://mitxonline.mit.edu/

A video installation called "Ever Is Over All" by Pipilotti Rist (1997), at the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin - haunting music loops over and over, while in the video the artist walks along the street, then smashes car windows using a model of a large flower.  Recorded by Cities and Memory, September 2025. 

Possibly the most visited spot on Skye are the Fairy Pools, a long chain of pools and small waterfalls coming down from the mountains - a truly stunning spot. We visit after most tourists have left, at around 8pm in the evening, to capture some close-up sound recordings without the presence of tourists.  Recorded in Skye, Scotland by Cities and Memory, April 2025.

Inside a sea cave on a Cornish beach, recording dripping waves on different surfaces and at different distances, onto rock, into small puddles and directly onto sand, while the roar of the sea waves continues outside the cave.  Recorded in Mawgan Porth, Cornwall, England by Cities and Memory, April 2025. 

"Scotland has always had a strong pull on my imagination and I've always wanted to visit. This sound file was my first choice from the many offered by Cities & Memory for their Autumn Project. Coincidentally, this past summer, while vacationing with my family in Assateague, Virginia, I made a recording of the ocean shore while standing on the beach. When I began the Autumn Project, I decided to use both as a sort of bridge between my real life in the United States and my imagined life in Scotland.  "Most of the music here was from an ambient piece I came up with during a Sunday morning session a week or two ago. My working title for it was Midnight Mariner. Other sonic elements added for this new piece evoke the bell of a buoy rolling in the waves, the ethereal singing of the Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser, and a muffled, indistinct drum pattern that sounds as if it is being played underwater.  "This submission was composed/assembled on my iPad inside the host software app AUM. I used a variety of iOS instruments and effects singly and in combination, including apps by Klevgrand, Bleass, Baby Audio, Audio Kit, Octachron, Fugue Machine, and Bram Bos. Some mixing was done automatically using MIDI controllers and LFOs, and some manually with a NanoKontrol2.  "Playing throughout the piece are two seashore sound recordings that complement each other nicely. The original sound file from the Isle of Skye is panned slightly left, and a similar sound file recorded while vacationing with my family at the beach in Assateague, Virginia, is panned slightly right." Waves in Elgol, Skye reimagined by daddy fall down.

A soundwalk around the heavily-reverbed impressive interior of Hannover's Neues Rathaus. Huge, reverby echo caused by the voices and footsteps of just a few visitors.  Recorded by Cities and Memory, May 2025. 

In McCaig's Tower, overlooking the bustling harbour town of Oban, finches call out from all sides as we walk around the inside of the tower walls, while the hum of the harbour rises up the hill from below us. Recorded in Oban, Scotland by Cities and Memory in April 2025. 

The Untuned Bell sound installation in Radhusplassen in Oslo. This 1.4-ton bell (anno 1949) was removed from the bell tower of Oslo City Hall because it was no longer in tune with the other 48 bells.  The artist found the bell lying silent on the ground and restored its voice. From its new home on Radhusplassen, here outside the City Hall, the bell can once again interact with the bells in the tower. By putting your foot on a Cry Baby wah pedal nearby, you can activate the untuned bell.  Recorded in September 2025 by Cities and Memory. 

"My first ever Cities and Memory track was a response to a very similar recording; that one, too, featured chimes. For that first track I re-sequenced the ringing and built my response on that 'quantised' structure.  "Some five years on I have changed very little to this original recording, leaving most of the irregularity in the ringing in place and working with and around its rhythm, embracing the imperfections and allowing some push and pull between the recording and my response. "In building my response I have worked much like I often do; searching for anything the recording insinuates, singing back to it and composing as I go along." Untuned Bell installation in Oslo reimagined by de Velden.

Welcome back to the Christmas traditions series. Today, we're taking a look at Christmas in Japan. In December, Japan looks like it is ready for Christmas. Cities light up at night. Store windows fill with trees, ornaments, and Santa Claus. Christmas music plays in shopping areas, train stations, offices, and restaurants. Bakeries line their shelves with seasonal cakes, and signs advertising special meals appear weeks ahead of time. To someone visiting from another country, it can look like Christmas is everywhere. At the same time, daily life keeps moving. Offices stay open. Schools stay open. Trains run on schedule. There is no national holiday connected to Christmas, and there is no long break from work. Christmas fits into everyday routines instead of stopping them...

Cyber attacks are no longer a future problem or a Silicon Valley issue. They are happening right now across the United States, quietly and relentlessly, targeting local governments, public agencies, schools, police departments, fire services, and critical infrastructure that most people rely on every day. In this episode of the Security Squawk Podcast, we break down the uncomfortable truth about the current cyber threat landscape and why much of it is flying under the radar. We start with a major data breach involving 700Credit, a financial services company widely used by car dealerships across the country. The breach impacted an estimated 5.8 million consumers, exposing sensitive personal information including names, addresses, birth dates, and Social Security numbers. What makes this incident especially troubling is that it originated through a third-party integration and went undetected until it was too late. This is a textbook example of how supply chain risk, weak API oversight, and poor third-party visibility continue to plague organizations of all sizes. For business owners, IT leaders, and managed service providers, this breach highlights a critical lesson. Security controls inside your own environment are meaningless if your partners, vendors, or integrations are not held to the same standard. Attackers know this, and they are exploiting it aggressively. Next, we shift to a growing and deeply concerning trend involving nation-state threat actors, particularly Russian-backed groups targeting network edge devices. Firewalls, VPN appliances, routers, and other edge infrastructure are now prime targets because they offer direct access to internal networks and often remain poorly monitored or improperly configured. These attacks are not always sophisticated zero-day exploits. In many cases, they succeed because of exposed management interfaces, outdated firmware, or weak credentials. This matters because edge devices sit at the front door of nearly every organization. Once compromised, they allow attackers to persist quietly, move laterally, and stage future attacks without triggering traditional endpoint defenses. The takeaway is clear. If you are not actively inventorying, patching, and monitoring your edge infrastructure, you are already behind. Then we pull the lens back even further and focus on what may be the most underreported cyber crisis happening today. Public sector organizations across the United States are under sustained cyber attack. Cities, towns, school districts, emergency services, and municipal agencies are being hit week after week. These incidents rarely make national headlines. Instead, they show up in small local news outlets, if they are reported at all. We discuss a real-world incident in Attleboro, Massachusetts, where a cybersecurity event disrupted online municipal services and briefly appeared on local television. Stories like this are happening everywhere. From ransomware attacks that shut down city services to breaches that expose resident data, public organizations are being targeted because attackers know they are often underfunded, understaffed, and slow to recover. Using data from ransomware.live and other tracking resources, we highlight how widespread these attacks really are. Thousands of U.S.-based victims are logged publicly, many of them tied to government or quasi-government entities. This is not random. It is a calculated strategy by cybercriminals who understand the pressure public agencies face to restore services quickly, often making them more likely to pay ransoms or quietly rebuild without public disclosure. Throughout the episode, we connect these stories to practical lessons for businesses, MSPs, and IT professionals. Cybersecurity is no longer about preventing every breach. It is about resilience, visibility, and response. It is about understanding where your real risk lies and taking proactive steps before an incident forces your hand. If you work in IT, run an MSP, manage infrastructure, or support public organizations, this episode delivers insight you can use immediately. We cut through the noise, skip the fear marketing, and focus on what actually matters in today's threat environment. Security Squawk exists to make cybersecurity real, relevant, and actionable.

Listener survey: bit.ly/datasmartpodIn our end-of-year episode, host Stephen Goldsmith reflect on 2025's most promising advancements in local government and shares his vision for how cities can harness generative AI to drive real change. Goldsmith discusses why a problem-first approach to AI implementation matters, how cities can rebuild public trust through better community listening, and why government processes must fundamentally transform—not just be overlaid with new technology. Drawing on decades of experience, he explains how bridging the gap between data-rich officials and context-rich residents creates opportunities for meaningful, co-created solutions.Episodes mentioned: City Leadership in the AI Era with Rochelle Haynes and Carrie Bishop; Generative AI and the Possibility Government with Mitch Weiss; and Recoding America Author Interview with Jennifer Pahlka.Music credit: Summer-Man by KetsaAbout Data-Smart City SolutionsData-Smart City Solutions, housed at the Bloomberg Center for Cities at Harvard University, is working to catalyze the adoption of data projects on the local government level by serving as a central resource for cities interested in this emerging field.

Critics aren't convinced the Government's new mega-Ministry will work. It's merging the environment, housing and urban development, and transport ministries into a new Ministry of Cities, Environment, Regions and Transport. Right-wing think tank NZ Initiative executive director Oliver Hartwich says it will still report to the same number of ministers. He told Heather du Plessis-Allan having it fully operational in six months is also ambitious. Hartwich says the ministries are busy with RMA reforms, which are taking up all their resources. He says putting a super merger on top of that could be asking too much. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 In the face of the accelerating climate crisis, rising authoritarianism, and geopolitical shifts, national governments are faltering…but cities are stepping into the void and taking the lead. Season 6 of Cities 1.5 will delve into how municipal-level actions and powerful coalitions are creating a carbon-free future, promoting resilience, and enabling a new economic system based on wellbeing over profit. We'll explore how cities are countering disinformation, fear, and inertia by spearheading significant local climate initiatives and forming new alliances, daring national governments to follow in their footsteps. Because the future won't wait - so we need to decide now who will lead, and whether we want to move towards disaster … or resilience.If you want to learn more about the Journal of City Climate Policy and Economy, please visit our website at https://jccpe.utpjournals.press/ Listen to the Cities 1.5 five-part miniseries “Going Steady with Herman Daly: How to Unbreak the Economy (and the Planet)" here: https://lnk.to/HDMiniSeries Cities 1.5 is produced by the University of Toronto Press and the C40 Centre, and is supported by C40 Cities.

The Government's confident a planned mega-ministry, MCERT, will support RMA and Local Government reforms. It expects the Ministry of Cities, Environment, Regions and Transport to be up and running by next July. It replaces the Ministries of Environment, Transport, Housing and Urban Development. Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop says New Zealand's great challenges involve all those agencies. "At the moment, it's all disconnected between three of four different agencies that we're merging together into one." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Aaron welcomes real estate developer Bobby Fijan to discuss one of the most overlooked crises in American urban life: the dramatic decline of children in major cities. Once filled with kids playing in the streets, neighborhoods in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and beyond are now increasingly childless. Bobby and Aaron explore the causes—from Richard Florida's influential “creative class” vision that reshaped city priorities, to financial incentives driving developers to build studios and one-bedrooms instead of family-sized apartments, to skyrocketing private-school costs and the loss of family-friendly infrastructure.They also examine why this matters: cities are engines of opportunity and culture, but forcing ambitious young people to choose between career growth and starting a family is a societal failure. Bobby shares his vision for “baby maybe” housing, practical ways to make cities welcoming for young families again, and why a biblical image of elderly people watching children play in the streets should inspire modern urban planning. The conversation ends with a provocative look at how cities have become extraordinarily dog-friendly—at the expense of being kid-friendly.If you care about the future of America's greatest cities, this is a must-listen.CHAPTERS(00:00 - Intro & Welcome Bobby Fijan)(00:55 - The Collapse of Children in Big Cities)(03:17 - Why Kids Disappear After Age 5 (And Now Even Younger))(04:31 - Richard Florida and the Rise of the Creative Class)(07:13 - How Cities Catered to Young Singles—and Forgot Families)(10:55 - The Insane Cost of Private Schools in Cities)(12:47 - Decline of Catholic/Parochial Schools)(14:22 - Why Childless Cities Matter)(17:48 - Economic & Cultural Hubs Need Families Too)(19:45 - Texas Cities vs. Legacy East Coast Cities)(23:35 - Why We Keep Building Studios & One-Bedrooms)(26:23 - Financialization of Housing & Developer Incentives)(28:28 - Introducing “Baby Maybe” Housing)(31:29 - How to Fix the System (Fair Housing, Subsidies, Vision))(36:36 - Dogs, Kids, and the Future of Urban Life)(46:47 - Closing Thoughts)BOBBY FIJAN LINKS:

The Red River of the North starts at the confluence of the Bois de Sioux and Otter Tail rivers and forms most of the border between Minnesota and North Dakota. It then crosses into Manitoba and empties into Lake Winnipeg before its waters finally flow into the sea at Hudson Bay. Cities have grown up along its banks including Fargo, Grand Forks and Winnipeg and their residents are all too aware of one unfortunate feature of the river. Unlike most large U.S. rivers, it flows from south to north.

The Hidden Face of Local Power: Appointed Boards and the Limits of Democracy (Temple UP, 2025) by Dr. Mirya Holman explicates the purpose, role, and consequences of appointed boards in U.S. cities. Dr. Holman finds cities create strong boards that generate policy, consolidate power, and defend the interests of businesses and wealthy and white residents. In contrast, weak boards pacify agitation from marginalized groups to give the appearance of inclusivity, democratic deliberation, and redistributional policymaking. Cities preserve this strong board/weak board dichotomy through policymaking power, institutional design, and by controlling who serves on the boards. The Hidden Face of Local Power examines the role of boards in the development of urban political institutions, the allocation of power in local politics, and the persistence of inequality. Holman enhances our understanding of how political institutions have contributed to racism and their impact on how people use and live in urban spaces. In her shrewd analysis of the creation and use of boards as political institutions, Dr. Holman proves that neither weak or strong boards achieves the goal they are advertised to achieve. In doing so, she provides a new view of the failures of local democracy along with ideas for improvement. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Living in greener neighborhoods is linked to significantly fewer hospitalizations for mental illness, including depression, anxiety, psychosis, and dementia A global analysis of 11.4 million cases found that just a small increase in vegetation density reduced mental health hospital admissions by 7% Urban residents experienced the strongest benefits — cities with more parks and tree-lined streets saw 13% fewer psychiatric hospitalizations Researchers discovered that the ideal balance for mental well-being is when about half your surroundings are green; both too little and too much vegetation reduce benefits Spending at least 30 minutes a day in moderate greenery, walking outdoors, or adding plants to your home helps lower stress hormones, boost focus, and improve emotional resilience
