When it comes to designing a neighbourhood fit for the future we face, Ladywood in Birmingham may seem like an unlikely place to be rivalling billionaires plans to live on Mars, but their results might be more appealing to the majority of us who like Earth, and are partial to oxygen. Inspired by past neighbourhood solutions that have since spread nationwide - like the NHS and welfare state - Civic Square are coming up with practical ways forward on climate, housing and resilience that could scale countrywide and create a collective future we all want to live in.

We then talk to Kate Raworth (tbc), founder of Doughnut Economics - on how the economic model behind this work could transform our future. 

Featuring: Immy Kaur, Kate Raworth
