PODCAST | Scheming with Pete Swift
This week on Scheming, Planit co-founder Pete Swift lifts the lid on Liverpool’s UNESCO debacle and designing gardens for the Japanese mafia.
You would be hard pressed to find a man more in love with his job than Swift, whose career has seen have a hand in some of the largest regeneration projects in the country.
A well-known face in the industry, Swift joined Place North West deputy editor Dan Whelan to talk about not dwelling on projects he missed out on, heading to the UN headquarters in Paris armed with VR goggles to talk UNESCO down, and why it is worth taking a risk on big projects like Manchester Town Hall.
“There is a difference between investing in something and paying for something,” he said. “You don’t question it, you just do it.”
