This conversation with Dr Jane Homewood went to places I didn’t expect, from astronauts visiting her childhood home, to being taught by communists, and starting her career in architecture before finding a deep passion for planning and place.

Jane shared insights from a remarkable career so far, from working on iconic projects like Darling Harbour, to shaping policies at the City of Melbourne, and then influencing planning across Victoria in a senior State Government executive role.

We explored how universities once directly informed council policy, the value of great design, and why collaboration is at the heart of a civil society.

It’s a thoughtful, honest and inspiring episode.
