Can Cities Handle the Pressure?
June 8, 2026
Cities are growing faster than ever but is government, infrastructure and the built environment sector keeping up?
On this episode of The Connector on @weareticker @HarperB-global Founder Belinda Coates is joined by Nick McKeogh, CEO of New London Architecture (NLA), to unpack the enormous pressures population growth and urbanisation are placing on cities globally, and why the built environment sector must stop operating in silos and start working as one connected industry.
From housing shortages and stalled development markets to decarbonising infrastructure and planning for billions more people to live in cities by 2080, the conversation explores the major challenges shaping the future of urban growth.
