The UK’s busiest shopping street is now closed to vehicles. What’s the long-term plan? Why have bum-sensing picnic benches been installed? And in other news, how could architecture bring down the Albanian government? Listen to the latest episode of Dezeen Weekly now.
Dezeen features editor Nat Barker and architecture reporter Amy Peacock return to talk through the heavily anticipated changes that took place on Oxford Street this week.
Then, they explain how a holiday swim by Ivanka Trump could lead to the downfall of the Albanian government, and why architecture is at the heart of the country’s politics.
