Only 17% of construction jobs are going to women, and even those are mostly in off-site roles. Jeanette Southwood wants that to be at least 30%. She’s vice president of corporate affairs and strategic partnership at Engineers Canada, but right from the start of her career as an engineer she noticed the barriers and hostility that women can face in this industry. When the stereotype is catcalls and bad jokes, how are we supposed to make construction appealing to all genders?

Human nature makes the future a scary place. Scientists had predicted pandemics for decades, but the Covid-19 pandemic still felt like it came out of nowhere. Our tendency is to react to events, rather than get ourselves ready for likely eventualities. Markku Allison and Molly Connor have developed a free tool to help change our thinking and learn how to be ready for the future. They’re on the show to talk us through the tool, which you can get at https://chandos.com/futureready, and to discuss what the future might hold for the architecture, engineering and construction industries.

Architecture is about stories - with Chris Cornelius
Building Good
12/19/23 • 33 min
Buildings from around the world represent the culture they were built in. From gothic cathedrals in Europe to glittering glassy office towers. So why don’t we always think about local culture when we start designing? Why don’t we talk to the community and ask for the stories they grew up with, so they can tell us about their culture? That’s what Chris Cornelius, founder of Studio:Indigenous, does. He joins Building Good to tell us how listening is the starting point for any of his projects.

Building Good

So how do we get women into those rewarding and lucrative trade careers? Carol Moen is the CEO of Women Building Futures and she’s helping women achieve economic empowerment so they can build good futures for themselves... and maybe change the industry for the better in the process.

How we design our cities has a huge impact on the health and wellness of people. In a recent series of articles, A healthy city, beyond cycling, Marianne Lefever and her co-author explore the complex interconnections of health and infrastructure. For example, cycling is a great way to create healthy opportunities for people in cities but depending on where you cycle, you could be exposing yourself to harmful air pollution that may make your choice to cycle more detrimental to your health! Together with host Jen Hancock, Marianne breaks down the challenges and opportunities facing cities around the world and how a people-first approach to design and infrastructure can not only improve health and wellness but save millions of taxpayer dollars in the process.

They go into detail on how a collaborative approach between the private and public sectors can help build culture, drive innovation, and create stronger communities.
