Estate Matters S2 Ep12: Lord Gascoigne | From report to reality: how engagement shapes successful new towns

Meaningful engagement with communities will be crucial to the successful creation of new towns - part of the Government’s ambitious target to build 1.5million homes by the end of this Parliament.

So says Lord Gascoigne, Chair of the House of Lords Built Environment Committee, guest on the latest episode of KOR Communications’ Estate Matters podcast.

The Conservative politician, who worked with Boris Johnson on his campaign to become Mayor of London and stayed with Johnson when he took office as Prime Minister, tells podcast host Anna Byles that communities need to be ‘taken on a journey’ to understand that new towns won’t appear overnight.

Lord Gascoigne and KOR's Senior Public Affairs Consultant, Grace Gladding, discuss the important role landed estates play in high-quality placemaking, delivering a legacy for the communities they are rooted in.
