Most developments are built to sell fast, but what happens when you design for the next 500 years instead? Jerry Tate, founder of Tate+Co Architects, reveals why a legacy mindset changes every decision in the design process.

In this episode, Jerry unpacks how long-term ownership, regenerative principles, and human-centred design can transform housing, universities, and public spaces. He explains why short-term profit thinking limits sustainable progress and how to build places that last.

You’ll learn:
 • The financial and social benefits of long-term ownership models
 • How to integrate nature into high-density urban spaces
 • What “regenerative” means beyond net zero
 • The barriers stopping mass adoption of sustainable materials
 • Examples of projects delivering value across generations

This is a masterclass in thinking beyond the next quarter and designing for the next century.
