Listen Now to Our New People and Places Podcast

What can you expect from the series?

From infrastructure design to planning, technology and people trends – we cover it all!

In our first season, we explore some of the considerations in connecting all people to better places to live, work, play and visit.

People are at the centre of all places.

It is our duty to leave no stone unturned in finding solutions that future-proof people’s access to opportunities, connectivity, safety, culture, education, health and wellbeing.

Tune in each week as we dive into discussions with our own subject matter experts, clients and key industry players to uncover the challenges and opportunities impacting our communities and the cities and regions we live in.

You can listen to what our experts have to say on:

• Spotify
• Apple Podcasts
• Google Podcasts

Digital walkthroughs of art galleries, endless Skype meetings, working from home, or creating online birthday parties – the events over the last few weeks means that all demographic cohorts – not just millennials – are finding virtual ways of meeting their place needs.

But can digital places replace physical ones?

In this first episode, host Hannah Bleyeerveen chats with her WSP guests about the ripple effects of going digital: from replicating authentic experiences to improving access to culture and education as well as socialising for a more diverse group of people.

More importantly, what does the future look like? What will it be like when we return to public places?

Special guests:

• Evan Brumley, Digital Solution Architect
• Evelyn Sung, Graduate Civil Engineer
• Michael Tyrpenou, Human Centered Design Lead
• Peter Aspinall, Principal Occupational Hygienist
