Since 2020 The Fifth Estate has been sharing exclusive interviews with the experts and leaders in sustainability of the built environment, getting the scoop in-depth from leaders like Caroline Pidcock, Dr Paul Bannister, and Dr Tyson Yunkaporta.
We explore topics such as efficient buildings, urban planning, architecture, First Nations thinking, renewable energy, climate resilience, and our democratic systems.
In our latest podcast, our managing editor, Tina Perinotto, spoke with Ainsley Simpson all about the surprising world of green infrastructure.
Ainsley Simpson is the chief executive officer of the Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC), a member-based peak body that’s purpose-driven, ensuring all infrastructure delivers social, cultural, environmental and economic benefits.
At The Fifth Estate we’ve long been fascinated by the infrastructure sector – which we think has some interesting areas of tension.
On the one hand is the enormous amount of carbon that’s consumed in traditional big projects, such as roads and bridges. On the other is the massive savings in carbon that can be made by bringing a sustainability lens to the job.
But as Ainsley explains so beautifully in this insightful podcast, there’s so much more to infrastructure and much of it can enable our bright new better world.
All of our podcasts are available on all streaming platforms free of charge – so you can listen anywhere, any time.
