The Good City: Toronto - Growing Pains

Welcome to The Good City podcast series, where we bring together designers, planners, engineers, environmental thinkers, academics, and community voices to explore how design can help cities tackle their biggest challenges and create better places for people and the planet. In our second episode, Toronto - Growing Pains, we turn to one of North America’s most dynamic and pressured cities. Every year, around 120,000 people arrive in the Toronto region, testing the limits of its housing, infrastructure, and public services. But behind the headlines of rising costs and crowded streets lies a bigger question: can rapid growth become a force for good? Joined by the authors of The Good City - Toronto paper, we unpack how community-centred TOD, gentle density, and inclusive design can shape a fairer, more resilient and future-ready Toronto. Panellists Michelle Xuereb (Host), Innovation Director, BDP Quadrangle Sean Hertel, Principal, Hertel Planning, Lecturer at Toronto Metropolitan University, University of Waterloo, and York University Canada Harim Labuschagne, Senior Architect & Director of Design, BDP Quadrangle This podcast forms part of The Good City, a global initiative by BDP and Nippon Koei to help cities across the world become better.

The Good City: Rotterdam - Climate Adaptation

Welcome to The Good City podcast series, where we bring together designers, planners, engineers, environmental thinkers, academics, and community voices to explore how design can help cities tackle their biggest challenges and create better places for people and the planet. In our first episode, Rotterdam: Climate Adaptation, we spotlight a city that has turned its greatest climate risks into a platform for innovation. With around 85% of Rotterdam sitting below sea level, water is an everyday reality. By embracing rather than resisting it, the city is transforming into a forward‑looking metropolis where nature, design, and resilience work hand in hand. Joined by the people behind The Good City - Rotterdam paper, we explore how community driven adaptation, experimental field labs, and climate adaptive public places are turning climate stress into opportunity - showing how liveable, nature positive spaces can be designed and scaled - offering practical lessons to cities worldwide. Panellists Michelle Xuereb (Host), Innovation Director, BDP Quadrangle Johan Verlinde, Program Manager, Rotterdam Climate Adaptation Plan Lindsey Schwidder, Programme Manager, The Green Village at Delft University of Technology Yasmin Stip, Citizens Initiative Leader, Iedereenaanboord Björn Bleumink, Architect Director, Head of Rotterdam Studio, BDP This podcast forms part of The Good City, a global initiative by BDP and Nippon Koei to help cities across the world become better.

Old Buildings – New Beginnings: Resurrecting our Unloved Heritage

When we talk about the adaptive reuse of old buildings, we often think of buildings from pre WW1 – romantic buildings from the Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian era. But a large proportion of the UK building stock consists of vacant buildings dating from the fifties to seventies – the not so old, and not so loved buildings. This genre of buildings are generally not considered as 'attractive' as pre-war, heritage buildings, and there is a consensus to want to knock these down and start again. But left neglected, they will continue to erode. So how do we successfully modify them? With their efficient and lean construction, they can be more difficult to modify and present unique challenges. But they also offer fantastic opportunities to save carbon. In this episode, Principal and lead of BDP's civil and structural engineering group, John Roycroft invites colleagues and fellow structural engineers, Victoria Martin and Chris Goodwin, along with George Ballard - building surveyor and structural engineer and chairman from GBG Group to explore the challenges these buildings bring when bringing them back to life. First we must determine how these buildings operate, their defects, and how we can work with the building...
