Martyn Evans looks at how to drive change through consensus

Cycling to work this week I listened to a podcast hosted by the two-wheel nuts Toby Fox and David Taylor who use a Desert Island Discs-inspired format to conduct a long-form conversation with a built environment specialist and committed cyclist. The latest episode of Tracks Of My Tyres features Patricia Brown who runs Central, a consultancy that provides strategic advice on city infrastructure, development and regeneration.

Pat’s entire career has been built on her innate ability to connect people to create collaborative environments in order to make change happen. As I listened I couldn’t help but think this was a podcast that everyone in our industry right now should be listening to.
