The Blueprint by Ballymore is a new podcast that looks at how we can build better cities, speaking to urban innovators from around the world.

To celebrate the launch of Ballymore’s latest advancement in urban living – the village style development of Mill Harbour on the doorstep of Canary Wharf – we’ve done a global deep dive into cutting-edge urban planning.

From more livable neighbourhoods to health boosting landscapes, community culture to sustainable design, flexible commerce to seamless transportation, we’ll be covering this complex topic from all angles.

Cities can be the most exciting, inspiring and productive places on earth to live, but they’re growing so rapidly that we now need to think carefully about the type of cities we actually want to create – this is the podcast for those conversations.
