    25. FRIEZE WEEK SPECIAL!!! PRODUCTIVE PLACEMAKING AND SUCCESSFUL URBAN REGENERATION! (EVENT, LONDON)

    “We really tried to manufacture a sense of life and in some ways, it paid off.” – random developer man in suit who networked me. “Yes, ultimately we have the sinister goal of increasing property prices, but it doesn’t mean we don’t care about culture.” – John Mulryan, Managing Director of Ballymore who couldn’t help but network me too. FRIEZE WEEK SPECIAL!!!!!!!!!! ART + REAL ESTATE = HOUSES EVEN FURTHER OUT OF REACH!!! Episode 25 is bit long and unwieldy but incase anyone is interested, it is a recording of an event I attended this morning called ‘Productive Placemaking, New Opportunities: What does successful regeneration truly look like? Held at the Trinity Art Gallery on London City Island, it featured a bunch of mainly posh men in suits – an array of planners, developers, investors, etc – saying very little of meaning and just rambling on about how successful they and their placemaking strategies are. A chance to hear how those on the other side speak about these things! They left little time for questions, but I did manage to get one in right at the end, which led to me having a long conversation with John Mulryan, Ballymore’s managing director, after the event. Sadly the recording of this conversation, and my other networking efforts, was not usable due to the crowds of loud networking people in the space. Apologies for the imperfect audio but I was recording on the sly in a difficult room full of people.
