Jess Miller on the opportunities of Covid for cities

“I take a little bit of delight in the mess,” says Sydney city councillor Jess Miller. “Because I see it as an opportunity to make things better.” A former Deputy Lord Mayor of Sydney, Jess is famous for her creative approaches to sustainability, strategy and innovation. In a wide-ranging chat, she talks to Mike about the unique chance posed by the pandemic to improve our cities – from transport, supply chains and the use of public space to reimagining neighbourhoods and re-empowering citizens.
