Welcome to the Planit podcast; which shares a title with our book, ‘The Start of Something’.

The title reflects the way we look at our work and the part we can play in fixing the world around us. 

We don’t ‘finish’ places when a project of ours completes. This marks the beginning of something. 

This is why we don’t feel comfortable with the familiar words of our industry – ‘placemaking’ and ‘masterplanning’ suggest a level of imposition, control, and rigidity at odds with our worldview.

We want to introduce a more generous, gentle language to the craft of change and the movement towards regenerative practice. We will always be ‘starters’ despite our projects taking years or decades to realise and mature. We have a saying that gets used in our work: ‘Plan for the life of an Oak tree’.

This podcast series speaks to everyone interested in positive change, generous leadership and, through business, the drive to leave the world better than we found it.

This point marks a time to celebrate – what we’ve learned, our successes, our failures, and to recognise those we’ve met along the way.

In each episode, we’ll introduce you to some great thinkers, creators, and leaders. We have completed the first year of content – thanks to those people who feature in the book.

Tune in every month to find out more, and head over to our website, planit-ie.com, where you can find our news, discover our team, and learn why we do what we do.
