The Connector / Episode 13 with Belinda Coates
January 12, 2026
Cities shape how we live, move and connect. As Australia continues to grow and the UK builds on centuries of city-making, the conversation around density, public space and people-first design has never been more important.
In this episode of The Connector, Belinda Coates is joined by Australian architect and author David Holm, whose book Drawing the City documents more than 500 urban spaces around the world. David describes cities as humanity’s greatest invention and brings a rare, global perspective on what truly makes great cities work.
