Open City Audio: The Brief - 2 April 2026 (Henrietta Billings)

Weekly programmes by Open City. Making architecture and cities more open, accessible, and equitable. This week: The Brief. Sahiba Chadha is joined by Henrietta Billings, director of SAVE Britain’s Heritage, an organisation dedicated to protecting historical buildings. Since joining SAVE in 2016, she has worked on campaigns such as M&S Oxford Street, Anglia Square in Norwich and the historic Grimsby Docks. They discuss: The Government confirms four more locations for its new towns programme; a derelict church with a Grade II listed mural is finding new life as an arts and community centre; a court has rejected a legal challenge opposing the demolition of the former Museum of London; and a storm is brewing in Edinburgh over plans to transform four listed buildings in the New Town into a pod hostel.
