Philip Graus has an omnibus cache of insights and history into how cities are formed, what keeps them growing or failing and how to make them sustainable.
He’s got deep roots in Sydney, having worked at the Greater Cities for nearly six years, been director of the Western City Deal and spent nearly 26 years at Cox Architecture, where he was also a director.
On top of that, he’s working on a PhD on cities through the University of New South Wales and is an adjunct professor at UTS Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building faculty.
This podcast is a bit of rambling chat, weaving in and out the incredible number of influences that make a city tick – or not.
