Open City Audio: The Brief - 23 October 2025 (Samira Ahmed)

Weekly programmes by Open City. Making architecture and cities more open, accessible, and equitable. This week: The Brief. Sahiba Chadha is joined by the BBC broadcaster, writer and journalist Samira Ahmed to discuss the biggest stories in architecture, conservation planning news: a 21st century almshouse in Southwark wins the Stirling Prize; how Labour ministers are consistently rejecting Historic England’s listing advice; a bid to save Nottinghamshire’s landmark cooling towers flounders; and a competition to rethink the Denys Lasdun-designed Ziggurats at the University of East Anglia.
