The Brighton Paradox: LIVING & LEARNING

In this episode, we look at how the city trying to compete for business and rapid economic growth - is also the city where a focus on health & wellbeing is helping it to stand out in the 21st century And we try to answer the following questions:

Is Brighton & Hove's lens of health and wellbeing a privilege of the comfortable middle classess or a genuine philosophy that makes the city stand out?
What makes a healthy city?
What do innovation cultures in healthcare and education say about Brighton & Hove?
Can Brighton & Hove contain a slice of London's hustle culture whilst also rejecting burnout?
What is it about the sea?
