Welcome to the BeyondX Podcast! In this week’s episode of BeyondCities our guest is Marlon van Maastricht, Landscape Architecture Director | Design & Project Delivery at the Red Sea Global.

 

The first part of our discussion consisted of topics like smart, sustainable cities, and the cities of the future, natural integration and landscape design, the importance of accounting for ongoing behavioural changes in city design, and the impact culture and societal change can have on sustainability.

 

In the second half of our discussion we played around with ideas like city hubs, self-sustaining cities, the future of transportation and mobility, the future of hospitality and tourism, and the impact maximum inclusivity can have on creating truly diverse cities.
