In this inaugural episode of How We Build…, host Nevena Vajdic sits down with Mark Enzer, strategic advisor at Mott MacDonald and visiting professor at both Cambridge and Imperial College London, to explore the transformative power of systems thinking in civil engineering and the built environment.

Mark shares insights from his extensive experience leading the National Digital Twin Programme and championing digitalization, collaborative delivery, and the circular economy. Together, they unpack what it means to shift from a project-based mindset to a systems-based approach, one that prioritizes outcomes over outputs and sees the built environment as a complex, interconnected system.

This episode was originally recorded in June 2025.
