Forgotten Heroines, Rain-Soaked Real Estate, and the Power of Mayors

In this jam-packed episode of Planning After Dark, Alex Notay, Catriona Riddell, and Jackie Sadek kick things off by righting some wrongs – shouting out the influential women in planning they regret missing last time, from Pat Brown to Janice Morphet.

Then it’s off to the South of France (metaphorically, and soggily) for a no-holds-barred MIPIM roundup: leaky carpets, invisible ministers, and a baffling British PR display featuring lookalike rockstars and a phone box.

The conversation flows into strategic planning, mayoral elections, and the magic (or madness) of charismatic local leadership. Who’s stepping up? Who’s missing the moment? And why do mayors matter more than you think?

Planning After Dark is the bold and insightful podcast where three powerhouse women in planning and development—Alex Notay, Catriona Riddell, and Jackie Sadek—shine a light on the industry’s biggest challenges, trends, and, yes, even a bit of behind-the-scenes gossip.

From navigating the complexities of development to debating the future of our cities, Planning After Dark is the no-holds-barred discussion you won’t want to miss.
