Writing, Curating, Strategising: Lucy Bullivant’s Urbanist Toolkit

Award-winning author, strategist and curator Lucy Bullivant joins us to spill the tea on what it really takes to shape cities that work – and why good urbanism needs more than just good design. 

We dive into her journey from writing "Masterplanning Futures" to curating edutainment exhibitions, chairing design review panels and working hands-on with communities from Oslo to Enfield. It’s all about retrofitting, storytelling, publishing, people and place. 

Lucy’s lived it – and she’s not holding back.
