McClary details her long cycle ride to the event, raising money for charity, while Wild discusses the difficult sartorial decisions he faced while packing. Both share their thoughts on how MIPIM has changed since it was last held, the key themes that have dominated conversation and their overall reflections on a very busy week.

For the latest Future of Real Estate podcast, Damian Wild joins an investor tour of Birmingham to learn how the city is pitching inward investment opportunities.

But, up against a serial winner, can Damian claim glory in his first ever appearance in the quiz of the week?

Plans to create a Westfield in the south were officially binned this week, as Croydon Council confirmed that the mega project, so long in the making, was not in its post-Covid future for the London suburb. Who is to blame for this apparent inability for Croydon town centre to get its much needed facelift? Is it the developers - Hammerson and Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield? The council? Could it even be John Lewis's fault? In this special episode of EGLSM, editor Samantha McClary dials in for a chat with a man who spent his formative years in Croydon, Damian Wild, to get his very special and personal take on just what went wrong and what Croydon and the real estate community need to do now.  

Celebrating Earth Day, this latest Future of Real Estate podcast sees Guy Grainger join Damian Wild in EG’s virtual studio. Appointed JLL’s global head of sustainability services & ESG earlier this year, Grainger talks about how real estate can go from being part of the problem to being part of the solution when it comes to climate change. He talks about the challenges of finding a net zero building in London for JLL, how valuation models will have to change to capture operational costs, and warns that real estate has five years to get its act together. “We are relevant,” he says. “The question is, how are we going to use that relevance for positive good – which, by the way, can also equal commercial good.”

Damian Wild is joined by Mark Farmer for the latest Future of Real Estate podcast. Five years on since his landmark report brought modern methods of construction to real estate’s mainstream, Farmer says he hopes to see its influence extend beyond residential and into infrastructure and commercial real estate. MMC also has a big role to play in meeting sustainability challenges, says Farmer, who expects more international players follow moves by the likes of Japan’s Sekisui House into the UK market.

In another Future of Real Estate podcast, Damian Wild speaks to UK Hospitality’s CEO Kate Nicholls about the impact on the sector of a third lockdown, and how recovery is some way off despite good news on the vaccine front. Nicholls warns that much of the sector will collapse without help from government and support from landlords. And she says that landlords hoping to recover all the rent they have lost from hospitality businesses are being unrealistic. More than that though, Nicholls says that the impact of the coronavirus pandemic will be felt by urban centres nationwide. What’s needed is nothing less than a Marshall plan for town centres to ensure their survival.

Future of Real Estate: In a critical week for Brexit negotiations, investment minister Lord Grimstone tells Damian Wild that this sector has a vital role in driving post-Covid investment in the UK. He’s hoping for geopolitical and health-related uncertainties to lift in the new year, and for the “propensity to invest” to return. Tech, home working and, especially, sustainability will propel change, he says – and real estate should lead the drive to build back better.

How can real estate be part of the solution when it comes to tackling the most pressing societal issues – inclusion, demographic change (not least an ageing population) and wellbeing? Damian Wild, EG's editor-in-chief, speaks with Bharat Mehta CBE, chief executive, Trust for London, followed by a panel with: - Jenny Herrera, chief executive, Good Business Foundation- Paul Alger, partner, Shoosmiths- Peter George, programme director, Meridian Water Project, Enfield Council

In a major new report on Real Estate in the 2020s, EG and Radius analysts James Child and Graham Shone ask how this sector can be a catalyst for UK plc’s recovery.

On this week's Tech Talk Radio Emily Wright meets HB Reavis's innovations and partnerships lead Gaia Arzilli for one of our most high octane podcasts to date.  Arzilli concedes that it takes a particular type of person to take on her role as she must bring together a community of people across a number of offices and countries and "excite them about new innovations." She talks about the challenges of the role, the importance of change and urges the industry to be "Netflix, not Blockbuster" as priorities shift from pure bricks and mortar to prioritise humans.  "Planet, people and productivity are at the heart of everything we do," she says.  Then, Damian Wild steps in for Sam McClary this week as TTR co-host as he talks all things Mipim and reveals what EG will be up to out in Cannes next month. For this and much more, tune in now. 

A Future of Real Estate Christmas cracker rounds off 2019. This year saw the Stirling Prize winner and government design chair Sadie Morgan launch a new Quality of Life Foundation. She tells Damian Wild how the foundation will improve the impact that the built environment has on people’s lives, and what it will deliver in 2020. “We need to do better,” she says.

We were blown away by the quality and quantity of entries for the new Social Impact category we introduced to this year’s EG Awards. It revealed an industry where firms of all shapes and sizes are committed to change and to thinking beyond just their own bottom line. Manchester-based developer Capital & Centric stood out for its commitment to social impact, from setting up a Regeneration Brainery to initiatives tackling homelessness. Damian Wild caught up with co-founder Tim Heatley

This month’s London Festival of Architecture might end up connecting more members of the public with the built environment than ever before. In this latest Future of Real Estate podcast, director Tamsie Thomson tells Damian Wild why this year’s event theme of boundaries is so relevant and why Brexit could mean architectural quality in the capital suffers.

Already accounting for 6% of London office space, flexible offices could double their share in the next few years. The growth of The Office Group has been as impressive. And it too has ambitions to grow – at home and overseas. Co-founder Charlie Green tells Damian Wild where the business is heading next and what that IPO could mean for the sector.

At EG’s latest Peter Wilson lecture last month, Dame Fiona Reynolds, former head of the National Trust, said: “Beauty can often be a means to deliver a better outcome, rather than a choice between no development and development. Beauty is not just aesthetics, it is a way of looking at the world. Understanding the qualitative bit as well as the quantitative bit really does matter.” Many developers get it. But not all. “Developers have got to realise that there is more to development than bricks and mortar,” says Capital & Centric’s John Moffat. “I don’t think it’s necessarily that you have to be philanthropic to take the view of development that good commercial sense and community social impact sit hand-in-hand. If we’re not delivering a positive social impact from what we’re doing, then even if it’s made a profit that’s still not a successful development. That is a step change in mindset that we need to see.” Here, Moffat, alongside Rob Sadler, head of Savills’ Cambridge office and Ami Kotecha, co-founder of AREP and managing director of AmroLiving, discuss how the regional development market is slowly – but perhaps reluctantly – embracing the change. EG editor-in-chief Damian Wild hosts.

The Future of Real Estate podcast looks at the events, the people and the issues that are changing real estate.

If passenger drones are the future of travel, where will they land? Where will they take off from? Or travel to? All questions that Skyport Drones' founder Duncan Walker hopes to answer as he plans to build a network of "vertiports" on London's rooftops.  With 15 rooftop's already secured for ports, which Walker hopes will eventually be used to dock drones carrying people around the city, he reveals the the complex planning required to ensure the infrastructure for this method of future travel is in place.  In this episode of Tech Talk Radio, Emily Wright talks to Walker about everything from the safety of drone travel to how we protect our skies from a future of increased air travel and we welcome a special guest in Sam McClary's absence as EG editor Damian Wild takes to the studio for his second Tech Talk turn. 

Concerns from property bosses over the local elections may have been mollified after Labour failed in its attempt to take key councils, but uncertainty still remains. London’s mayor Sadiq Khan is at the halfway point in his term and is still falling short of his target of building 60,000 homes per year in the capital. The differing ways to hit that target will be central to discussions to debates between developers and newly elected local councillors will be key.   Martin Bellginer, Ian Fletcher is director of policy at the British Property Federation; Dean Clifford, co-founder of central London residential developer Great Marlborough Estates; Martin Bellinger executive chairman of housing developer and contractor Guildmore and one of the founders of PRS developer Essential Living and EG’s London residential analyst Paul Wellman joined EG editor Damian Wild to discuss the battles ahead.
