“Leave things better than the way you found them” – Martin Prince-Parrott, Founder of SUB\URBAN WORKSHOP

November 30, 2022 • Season 2 • Episode 5

Joining me for the final episode of Season 2 is Martin Prince-Parrott.

Martin is the Founder and Managing Director of SUB\URBAN WORKSHOP which he describes as a ‘thoroughly modern ESG-led real estate developer’.

With an award-winning architectural background and a firm belief that property should enrich lives, Martin is on a mission to transform the suburbs by creating healthy, low-carbon, and tech-enabled communities.

In this episode, we discuss ‘future-fit’ cyborg buildings, sustainable development as a ‘team sport’, the next phase of diversity in property, and his forthcoming book which reveals the relationship between healthy cities and the pounds and pence.

So, let’s meet Martin...
