Watching Adam Curtis’s latest made me realise we don’t see any intellectual polymaths any more on the BBC.

I recommend this highly. Brilliant analysis each week.

Hosting the TRUUD conference on urban planning and health today. This is the view from the balcony.

Great venue for the final truud_research meeting in Bristol. Superb range of panellists, discussion and challenge on the role of urban development and transport planning in creating healthy environments

I thought it would go for much more than the estimate but am glad that Bristol tried hard to buy it. I hope it will come to the city at some point.

Delighted to be interviewing Ian McEwan about his new book on 16 September. Book here. toppingbooks.co.uk/events/bath/ia…

Recommended reading. I’ve used Roman’s books a lot in our projects, most recently in the truud_research podcasts and conference.

I spent most of the 1980s and early 1990s researching nuclear weapons and looking at planning for an attack on East Anglia. I’ve watched these a few times. I must write up the story of what would happen to Cambridge, Peterborough and Norwich if Britain was attacked.

I am looking forward to reading this book. I loved having Richard in our Festival of Ideas.

‘Via her lawyers, Winn said to The Observer: “The Salt Path is an honest account of what we lived through on the path, and I stand by it….And I can’t allow any more doubt to be cast on the validity of those memories, or the joy they have given so many.”’ observer.co.uk/news/national/…

Looking forward to this.

I saw this today. Another remarkable film from Мstyslav Chernov. Thank you for continuing to show the truth about Putin’s war and the bravery of Ukraine’s soldiers and the nation. Thank you to Dogwoof too.
