Decoding Development: Who gets to be a developer?

In this episode, we dive deep into the world of development and uncover what it takes to become a developer. We start by exploring the roots of development, the essential skills needed, and the various development models that shape the industry. Traditionally, developers acquire land, oversee design and permits, and eventually sell or rent their projects for profit. However, there's a shift towards newer models like the service model and developer consulting, which spread out risk and engage multiple stakeholders in the process. Throughout our discussion, we showcase inspiring examples of development projects, from community-driven initiatives to innovative public sector developments. Join us as we unravel the complexities and possibilities in the ever-evolving realm of development.
