I’m Shubham Bansode, Founder of Planning Matters — an Architect, Urban Planner, and Built Environment Content Creator passionate about how cities, buildings, and places are designed, developed, and transformed. I hold an RTPI-accredited MSc in Urban Planning from Newcastle University, with a background in Architecture and professional experience across architectural design, urban design, masterplanning, development strategy, and public projects. Through Planning Matters, I create research-driven media content exploring the hidden decisions behind cities, real estate, infrastructure, architecture, and urban development — making complex ideas accessible through storytelling. My interests lie in creating better places and stronger narratives by combining design thinking, strategic planning, development knowledge, and digital media.
