  • S02 E05 Carbon impact, in fact (feat. James Mickelburgh, co-founder of Jensen Hunt)
    Feb 19 2026

    Our guest this week is James Mickelburgh, co-founder of Jensen Hunt.

    As town planning agents, part of our role is to make sense of a subjective and often open-ended policy context that’s always changing. The conversation with James shows how policies regarding environmentally sustainability are amongst the most open-ended, the effects that can have on decision making, and where we find optimism about these issues.

  • S02 E04 Inefficiency doesn’t make pence (feat. Viktor Rohacs, Founder and Director of Rohacs Architects)
    Feb 12 2026

    Our guest this week is Viktor Rohacs, Founder and Director of Rohacs Architects.

    As town planning agents, we know it’s as important to secure a successful permission as it is to secure a deliverable permission. Our conversation with Viktor shows that commercial-mindedness is part and parcel rather than an opposing force to delivering successful places.

  • S02 E03 Planning's prickly intersections (feat. Phineas Harper)
    Feb 5 2026

    Our guest this week is the one-and-only Phineas Harper.

    The team at Centro is in the built environment sector because we’re dedicated to the outcomes we achieve. We’re invested in the nature of our work. That’s why it was such a good time speaking with Phineas, who has a unique position in the sector as an activist, an organiser, and – dare we say – a provocateur.
