In the latest episode of the UrbanTalk Podcast we welcome Karla Castellanos, Director of Urban Design at Audax Urban. Karla has lived and worked in cities all over the world and sits on a number of design excellence panels in NSW. With Karla, we talk about how density is perceived by the public and defined by government, which are often at odds. We also discuss the way planning policy is formulated and examine some of the initiatives put forward by the NSW Government to address housing shortages like pattern books.
