With many master plans in its time, and some exciting new proposals announced for further developing the Riverbank, what better time to talk about this important place in Adelaide's history, and its future.

Landscape architecture of the future is the theme for episode #26 of Adelaide (un)Planned. Chloe Organ is the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects 'Future Leader' award winner for South Australia in 2020. Chloe is co-leader of SAILA Fresh which works with students and new landscape architects to connect them with industry peers, and also a colleague of presenters Michael and Daniel. In this edition the trio talk about the current priorities of the landscape architecture profession. We get Chloe's view on the coastal landscapes of Adelaide near where she lives. And we talk design - do we get enough plant diversity in our landscape designs? Do landscape architects know enough about plants? We also talk about living and working in Adelaide. Do small cities have what it takes?

For episode #25 of Adelaide (un)Planned Michael and Daniel take a virtual stroll down King William Road, one of Adelaide's best suburban high streets and recently subject to a major redesign and upgrade. City of Unley chief executive Peter Tsokas has a long association with King William Road having grown up nearby and then leading the council staff as CEO for a decade. We talk with Peter about the new urban design features of King William Road, from its luxuriously paved footpaths, extra outdoor dining areas, zebra crossings, 80 new street trees, dazzling lights, colourful sculptures, digital signs, and of course the reconstructed and fully paved roadway, an unusually iconic engineering feature of the streetscape. Peter talks about the successes of the upgrade and the benefits it is bringing to local shops and businesses, as well as lessons learned and things to improve on for Unley's next streetscape upgrade project...wherever that may be!

Episode #22 is a short wrap up of Adelaide (un)Planned’s 2020 podcasts. What podcast was most listened to this year? What were Michael and Daniel’s highlights from nearly 20 special guests from planning, landscape architecture, conservation, engineering, transport, retail and main streets, engagement, architecture and not forgetting politicians SA environment minister David Speirs and just last week, Lord mayor of Adelaide Sandy Verschoor. In 2020 we talked a lot of about streets including Hindley Street, Rundle Mall, Gumeracha main street in Adelaide Hills, and the city’s grand North Terrace. We also heard from our guests about their visions for a greener, more equitable, calmer, economically sustainable and future-thinking Adelaide, so what are our own visions for the future Adelaide?

What will the new city-wide business agency do for economic growth and our main streets? Will we ever have an east-west bikeway? What's next for events and festivals after the ending of the Adelaide 500 motor race and the pandemic-induced challenges to the arts? And why we all need to discover the 18km Parklands Trail...

Episode #20 of Adelaide (un)Planned was recorded on tour in Canberra the nation's capital. Michael and Daniel chat with engagement, social sustainability and workshop leader Liesl Codrington. So what do non-designers think about the colouring-in fest that is design workshops? Is keeping your camera on the secret to online communication success? When did social planning become a thing of the past? And who got it right, Walter Burley Griffin or Colonel Light? (unfair question I admit)
