Episode 8
Do we understand the impact the built environment has on our physical and mental health? Jason Ratcliffe, TedX Organiser, founder of The Home Health Expert and university alumnus, doesn’t think so.
In this three-part feature of the BE Sustainable podcast, Jason joins our host, Mike Speight, to dive into the relationship between human health and the buildings we inhabit, the awareness of wellbeing in the wider sector, and the challenge of attracting the next generation of skilled built environment professionals.
