The plan to finally build the Oxford-Cambridge Arc

Plus how selling bonds could be the ‘emotional technology’ we need to persuade people to love infrastructure.

On YIMBY Pod this week:

  • We discuss a new paper looking at what went wrong with grand plans to link up an area of central England with enormous growth potential – and how we could finally, finally build it.

  • And then we speak to Hannah Camilleri on her pitch to sell infrastructure bonds to build public support for building the bridges, roads and railway lines we need.

Hannah’s piece on Arguably is here.

The KCL paper on the Oxford-Cambridge Arc we discuss is here.

James’s Substack is here, and this week he’ll hopefully post an article.

Martin’s Substack is here, and his latest video on Scotland’s self-destructive approach to nuclear power is here.

Don’t forget to tell your friends about the pod – and leave us a nice review on Apple Podcasts!

YIMBY Pod is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and hopefully wherever you get your podcasts!

You can find James on Bluesky here, and Martin here.
