Property Development Club is a collective of property experts from diverse backgrounds. In this excellent podcast they explore the differences between public and private development, and whether partnerships between the two sectors can work.

In the very first episode of the Property Development Book Club podcast, the panel discuss the similarities, differences (and possible tensions) between public and private developers. With insights and opinions shared from a broad range of panellists, the podcast explores differences in approach between the public and private sector, who gets it easier in navigating the planning process, and how both sectors can best work together to meet shared goals.

“We are not governed by the same rules, but placemaking is fundamental to the way we approach things. If you have a phased scheme, you have to consider the long-term establishment of that community.”

Hannah Afolabi, Development Director, Balfour Beatty Investments
