The Connector / Episode 12 with Belinda Coates

How do cities grow without tearing down their past? In this episode of The Connector, Harper B Founder Belinda Coates sits down with Leanne Tritton, Co-Founder of Don’t Waste Buildings to explore how cities can transform existing buildings instead of starting from scratch.

Leanne discusses the global shift toward asset revitalisation, the policy gaps holding cities back, the lessons Australia can take from London, and why debates like the Marks & Spencer building matter more than ever.

A fast, insightful look at sustainability, city-making, and the future of building reuse.
