Joining Michael and Daniel for episode #9 is their good mate Steven Burgess. Steve is a passionate advocate for creating great streets, and an engineer! Listen in to find out why 'small cities are the new black', the value of the 'third place', why cities have a choice now about how their streets and public spaces will be post-coronavirus, and why Austroads is no good for designing streets (and the kiwis do it better). Recorded online with a few audio hiccups.

The Urban Development Institute's Pat Gerace joins Michael and Daniel for Episode #8 of Adelaide (un)Planned. Historically Adelaide has often led Australia in urban development trends, so how will today's developers respond to the challenges of Covid-19 and the potential effects on consumer sentiment? Have recent planning reforms been good for developers? Why developers want more greening in our streets and suburbs as much as anyone, but shouldn't have to do all the heavy lifting. And hear Pat's vision for a more connected community in Adelaide.

Episode #7 diverts from the usual format, as Michael and Daniel ask 'what can Adelaide learn from the coronavirus pandemic that is reshaping our city (at least for a while)'? Will our local shops be revitalised by the 'great work from home experiment' and a return to localism? What can we take from the increased use of parks and many public spaces? Will there really be a return to suburban values and gardening? In this podcast we also talk transport opportunities. With all the cars at home, is it time for a pop-up East-West city bikeway to test? And why $18m of green stimulus could be a great way to spend local and help SA towns and cities adapt to climate change. And slow TV...

What's interesting about this new CBD tower is that it was built by a not-for-profit organisation, Uniting Communities.
