Talk About London | The Man Who Would Be Mayor

Share this episode
The Mayor of London is one of the most important roles in the country – shaping how the city grows, lives and works. But is there another way to run London?

In this episode of Talk About London, Peter Murray joins Leanne Tritton,  and Dave Hill,  to argue that London’s future hinges on something often overlooked: the built environment.

With a housing crisis deepening and 600,000 people working across the sector, Peter sets out a more pragmatic, less political approach – one that brings together developers, communities and City Hall to unlock growth. From street votes and estate ballots to reducing development risk and learning from places like King’s Cross, he makes the case for a more collaborative, confident London.

If we want to build the homes and infrastructure the city needs, it starts with how we think about — and talk about — the places we shape every day.
