This episode considers the importance of engaging with communities around major new infrastructure projects.

Joining host Charlotte Mitchell are Annette Jezierska, Co-Founder of The Future Fox, a technology company developing smart, sustainable and people-focused city infrastructure; and Phil Graham, Chief Executive of the National Infrastructure Commission. Phil has previously led the development of the government’s high speed rail strategy, as well as leading the team supporting Sir Howard Davies’ Airports Commission, and has therefore been involved in extensive programmes of community engagement.

He and Annette share their perspectives on what makes for effective community engagement, how difficult and different choices can be communicated well, and why the views and feelings of local communities are a crucial element in shaping long-term strategic planning.
