In this episode of Talking Place, host Tanisha Raffiuddin heads to UKREiiF 2025 in Leeds to hear directly from the voices shaping the future of our built environment.
Framed around one powerful question—“What does the place of the future look like?”—this special edition of ‘REiiFlections’ gathers insights from across the public, private, cultural, and development sectors.
From democratic housing models and funding reform, to culture-led regeneration and shifting power to local communities, this episode captures the energy and urgency behind the ideas that could transform the way we live, build, and belong.
The result is a rich, thought-provoking tapestry of perspectives on collaboration, equity, affordability, and design justice—all grounded in real-world experience.
Whether you're an architect, planner, policymaker, developer, artist, or activist, this conversation challenges you to rethink how we shape the places we call home—and who gets to shape them.
Join us as we ‘Talk Place’.
