Open City: The Brief - 25 September 2025 (Jane Hall)

Weekly programmes by Open City. Making architecture and cities more open, accessible, and equitable. This week: The Brief. In this episode, host Merlin Fulcher is joined by Dr Jane Hall, architectural historian and founding member of the Turner Prize-winning collective Assemble. Together they discuss: Lords call for stronger leadership for the government’s new towns; the UK’s largest architecture firm reports record-breaking turnover amid a surge in global projects; campaigners against the old Museum of London’s demolition win the right to appeal; and they are the biggest cars on the road - could a new tax on sports utility vehicles raise £2 billion for the UK?
