As City Planning Officer for the City of London, Peter Rees led the planning and regeneration of this world's business and financial centre from 1985 to 2014. Today, Peter is Professor of Places and City Planning at UCL. He lectures internationally and advises developers and cities around the world on urban planning and design. Peter is a founder member and director of the British Council for Offices and received the President's Award in 2003 for “presiding over one of the most extensive periods of redevelopment in the City's long history.” Famously, Peter preferred to keep the City as a place just ‘for business'. In this episode, Kauntze asks whether he thinks this could change in the coming years, perhaps as a result of COVID-19. Planning in The City is covered throughout the episode, as well as what office designers can do to make their office stand out, and give people a reason to not just work from home.
