This is a country where we can do great things.

And it sounds like Alan Malady, and just to be absolutely transparent, I don't know Alan, and Alan, I'm very grateful for your listening to Radical.

This is someone who's really engaged with your idea.

The idea that he's engaged with is that Forest City, this new city you want to build, would be a public first city in terms of transport.

What's the vision of yours that he's talking about there?

So that's your answer to Alan's question.

How will you encourage enough people to shift their mindset and way of living?

If they come to a place where it is the way of living, then you don't have to persuade a transformation.

It's what comes with the territory.

Final thought, and it's a selfish one for me.

You're a bloke, born in LA, grew up, I think I'm right in saying in East London.

Finchley Central, which is in North London, Margaret Thatcher's constituency, if I'm not mistaken, and then moved to East London.

How did building a new city in East Anglia become the great mission of your life?

I'm very struck.

A lot of people say, oh, he stands to make millions.

You're saying that, A, you don't stand to make millions.

B, you're happy to forego all income.

And C, you're doing all this pro bono and you've got a family to feed.

I mean, why is this the thing that Shiv Malik's life has become dedicated to?

It's certainly pretty radical.
