On this week's program, we bring you highlights from a public meeting and open house that took place at the Main Public Library on March 18th about the Downtown & NuLu Street Network Plan. Louisville Metro Government is leading a plan to advance quick-term action projects for streets in Downtown and NuLu, intended to promote walkability and safety for pedestrians and to serve as a blueprint for capital improvement projects over the next several years. The public was invited to come be a part of this planning effort by joining this open house and kickoff of the plan activities - featuring a presentation from Jeff Speck from Metro's planning consultant team! So listen in as renowned urban planner and author Jeff Speck shared his insights on reimagining downtown Louisville through the lens of walkability and why fostering a pedestrian-friendly environment is imperative for a flourishing city. The evening kicked off with Joel from Stantech. Jeff Speck is a city planner and author who advocates internationally for more walkable cities. As Director of Design at the National Endowment for the Arts from 2003 through 2007, he presided over the Mayors' Institute on City Design and created the Governors' Institute on Community Design.

What if your city wasn't just a place to live, but a tool to keep you healthy? Dr. Avi Friedman, Professor of Architecture at McGill University, and Alexandra Pollock, landscape designer and urban planner, discuss how our cities impact our health—and how they can be redesigned for a better future. Avi and Alexandra dive into the concept of cities as “exercise machines,” where walkable streets, green spaces, and accessible design promote both physical and mental well-being. They explore how planning for “15-minute cities” can combat urban sprawl, reduce isolation, and bring communities together, all while tackling environmental challenges.Read Fundamentals of Planning Cities for Healthy Living (Anthem Press, 2023).Join the Building Good community today:https://www.buildinggood.caLinkedIn

On this episode of The Construction Record Podcast, digital media editor Warren Frey talks to designers and architects in Kansas City about the design culture of the city and region and the challenges and successes of building CPKC Stadium, the first ever women's soccer stadium in North America and the home of the Kansas City Current. First, Warren interviews DLR Group principal and interior design leader Gretchen Holy and KC Global Design managing director Ashley McDonald about the vibrant and deep design culture of Kansas City, a modern city with deep roots in the U.S. Midwest as a commercial hub and link to both the west and east coasts of the country, as well as a hub for top U.S. design firms. The second interview is with Generator Studio's senior project designer Jill Monaghan and director of interior design Christina Franklin, the driving force behind design for the KC Current women's soccer team's CPKC Stadium. The stadium was purpose built for the team and is the first of its kind, which meant a more welcoming environment and adaptability to other possible uses for the structure, as well as consciously building a smaller stadium to better harness fan enthusiasm. You can listen to highlights from the recent ConstructConnect, AIA and AGC of A economic webcast here and our episodes are available at the Daily Commercial News and Journal of Commerce websites, on Libsyn and at  Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Amazon Music's podcast section.

In this episode, our host Kimberley Hui is interviewing Jocelyn Chiew who is a registered architect working at the City of Melbourne as the Director of City Design. Kim and Jocelyn discuss intersectionality in architecture. Intersectionality is a way of examining how different forms of oppression overlap and interact to create complex experiences of discrimination. This can be done by understanding how one person's gender, race, ability, sexuality, age, class or immigration status makes their experience different to someone else's. Kim and Jocelyn talk about how this is being considered in the architecture profession and the built environment more broadly. Hearing Architecture is proudly sponsored by Brickworks. Thank you so much for listening. Thank you to our host Kimberley Hui and her guest Jocelyn Chiew, registered architect and Director of City Design at the City of Melbourne.

After World War II, the U.S. embarked on an experiment in how we build cities. Instead of creating places scaled to people who walked, we built suburbs that focused on moving cars quickly and efficiently. Many cities in North America are looking to become walkable again, but it's not easy. Time and time again, change makers are hit by bureaucracy and complicated logistics.  Why is it so difficult to change? In “Urban Intercurrence: The Struggle to Build Walkable Downtowns in Car-Dependent Suburbia,” author Tristan Cleveland goes in depth about why cities struggle to retrofit their car dependence, and what could actually be done to create change. In this Strong Towns Podcast, host Chuck Marohn chats with Tristan Cleveland, PhD, who is a Strong Towns member and an urban planner at Happy Cities.  ADDITIONAL SHOW NOTES Tristan Cleveland (Twitter).

Episode: 2261 Ford's dream of a 75-mile city along Muscle Shoals.  Today, a 75-mile city.

The following is a salvaged file of a discussion I had in the summer of 2021 with two friends,Rory from Spain and Arman in Canada whom I always love having deep and engaging conversations with.  At the time, I had been researching on urban planning and sacredness. So I shared a link to an interesting article I came across. We decided to hop on to zoom and exchange ideas and thoughts that run through our minds tapping into realtime exploration of possibilities. The key touch points here would be how cities are designed, what makes parts of cities sacred and a slight tangent into stitching together urban planning and sound. 

Does the surrounding architecture make your food choices for you? In a way, if you ask CEO and founding partner at Gehl Architects, Helle Søholt and CIO Jeff Risom. Their team map ‘foodscapes' that reveal what food choices surrounds us, and how that can be improved. Design for healthy choices is about exposing people to healthy food, but also considering how eating is a part of social interactions, and that is influenced by the urban design. Michael Booth is host.

Episode 073: Architecture, And: Civic Leadership How are individuals using their training in architecture to explore diverse career paths in government and public service? The https://www.micd.org/ (Mayors' Institute on City Design (MICD)) is a leadership initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with the United States Conference of Mayors. Since 1986, the Mayors' Institute has helped transform communities through design by preparing mayors to be the chief urban designers of their cities. MICD has hosted over 1,200 mayors representing all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.  This week we'll interview Trinity Simons, the Executive Director of the Mayors' Institute on City Design, and Jake Day, the Mayor of Salisbury, Maryland. Trinity and Mayor Day both started their careers in architecture. We'll interview them to learn more about their current leadership responsibilities, the path from architecture to civic leadership, and how their foundational education informs their work. Guests: Trinity Simons helps local leaders across the nation improve their communities, bringing together her advanced training in architecture and planning with a conviction about the importance of the built environment and respect for the democratic process. For the last decade, she has served as the executive director of the Mayors' Institute on City Design (MICD). At MICD, she works with mayors across the country on the nation's most pressing urban planning and design challenges. During her tenure, she has led the expansion of leadership development and learning opportunities for mayors, building off the successful MICD Institute model, to now include virtual seminars for mayors, advanced technical assistance, and the innovative MICD Just City Mayoral Fellowship. She speaks and writes frequently about the intersection of design and politics, and how design is a tool that can help mayors creatively address numerous challenges simultaneously, including equity, affordability, and sustainability. Under her leadership, in 2021, MICD was awarded the Landscape Architecture Foundation's Founders' Award, its highest honor for organizations. Trinity previously directed the Enterprise Rose Architectural Fellowship, a prestigious fellowship program for emerging architects and landscape architects to achieve design excellence in affordable housing through work with community development corporations. Trinity has a Bachelor of Architecture from the Fay Jones School at the University of Arkansas and a Master of City Planning with a focus on city design and real estate development from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Jake Day is the Mayor of Salisbury, Maryland. Born and raised in Salisbury, he was elected to the City Council at the age of 30 and unanimously elected President. First elected Mayor in 2015, he was reelected in 2019 with 86% of the vote. Under his leadership, Salisbury has established a Housing First program to reduce chronic homelessness, opened its first 2 youth community centers and recreation programs, borne witness to Maryland's fastest declining rate of opioid overdoses, and the fastest dropping crime rate of any US city in the last decade. The renaissance of Downtown Salisbury has helped Salisbury become Maryland's fastest-growing City, America's 7th fastest growing job market, and America's 16th fastest-growing metro area. As Mayor, Jake oversaw the complete reorganization of the Salisbury government; restoring employee morale, customer service, efficiency, and transparency.  Jake earned a bachelor's degree in Architecture from the University of Maryland, a Master's Degree in Urban Design from Carnegie Mellon University, and a Master of Science in Environmental Policy from Oxford University where he graduated with distinction for his dissertation on the American lawn. Jake has spent his career revitalizing downtowns and making them more vibrant, livable places. His work...

placemakingpodcast@gmail.com Facebook-f Twitter Linkedin Instagram The Art & Science of Making Places Into Living Spaces with Alberto Mattiello – Ep. 51 About the Guest I am extremely excited to share this next conversation with all of you. Today on the show I have Alberto Mattiello, the Creative Director of the Placemakers Group of Companies and Founder of Eitherland. Alberto is an award-winning entrepreneur, business futurist, author, and keynote speaker. Author of ‘Mind The Change' and ‘Marketing Thinking' and curator of the local edition of the MIT Sloan books, he is a technology and business innovation expert. As Creative Director of the Placemakers Group, Alberto guides the design direction of several companies that all revolve around enhancing public spaces. As you'll hear in this episode, he is also the Founder of Eitherland, a company focused on outdoor workspaces. The Placemakers group is the world's biggest street furniture manufacturer group. They are exclusively committed to anticipating future trends and designing urban spaces that enhance interpersonal connections, citizens' wellbeing, engagement and performance as a whole. The group consists of six companies currently. They are Metalco, Bellitalia, CityDesign, MyEquilibria, 1984, and of course Eitherland. The Placemakers mission is simple: start with a beautiful public space and transform it into a living place that brings immediate and tangible benefits to communities, municipalities and people who use it. In this episode, we are going to dive deep into the ideas behind effective placemaking, understand how being outdoors can actually reshape neural pathways in the brain, and a look into the future of public spaces and the various activities that will be brought back into the public realm. There is loads of great information in this episode and I greatly appreciated Alberto for taking the time out of his tremendously busy schedule to discuss this topic of the art & science of making ordinary places into truly living spaces with me.  As always, if you have enjoyed the show, please subscribe to the show and share it with your friends in the industry. There will be more exciting conversations on the shows to come. Main Take-Away's From This Show This was another enjoyable episode to record. I honestly threw out the topics I had written for the show and just began diving into various topics as they arose. Alberto really understood the built environment and was in tune with how people interacted with the public realm. The way the Placemakers group is literally re-shaping the public areas is unbelievable.  There were so many great talking points that Alberto made throughout the discussion, so it is hard to just pick three for my main take-away's this week. The following main topics of the show come from an understanding of placemaking that they both possess. Citizens are no Longer Loyal to A Certain City The Pandemic and Theory “U” The Best Way to See How People will React to your Placemaking Ideas is to Actually Implement them As always, I will dig into each of these “take-away's” every week on the blog. So, without further a due, here we go! Citizens are no Longer Loyal to A Certain City This first point is one that we in the U.S. probably don't always relate to but at some level we do have a loyalty to our hometown. The same is true for most around the world. However, with the globalization of the world, we are seeing less and less loyalty to the places our family is from or where we grew up. As Alberto mentioned, this trend is becoming more apparent in Europe where there was often a strong tie to stay “close to home” when starting adulthood. This point was brought up due to the fact that cities are changing. People are moving to cities they actually want to live in. Employment locations are not as big as a factor as they once were due to the great reshuffling that is occurring in this pandemic.

Today on The Changemaker: Deanna Brown (@JamesBrownGirl). Not only is Deanna the daughter of the late James Brown, but she is also a dear friend to Deke and the after the passing of her father in 2006, Deanna picked up the reigns of her father's good will and continued his legacy of giving thru The Brown Family Childrens Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports creating music scholarships and programs for students and schools who have a interest in learning music and the music industry; provide health awareness to impoverished families; and continue to support The Annual James Brown Turkey and Toy Giveaways, www.jamesbrownfamilyfdn.org. Deanna has many positions but the two she holds dearest is mother and wife. She believes in the family unit being strong and encouraging to one another. The Changemaker is hosted by Deke Copenhaver.

In this episode Eric interviews Sara Joy about Jane Jacobs' pioneering book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Written in 1961 this book represented a scathing critique of orthodox city planning from an unexpected source. Jane Jacobs was neither an architect nor a trained planner, but she was a keen observer of how cities and neighborhoods actually worked. She had the patience and instinct to look for the complex order at work within what appeared to be chaotic urban environments. And, she had the gumption not only to engage the ‘experts' in a male dominated field, but to challenge some of their most sacred principles. She writes in an engaging, disarming style and invites the reader to meet the people she knows and to love the places she loves as she describes the fundamental principles behind cities that are alive. As an added bonus, this episode includes a friendly battle between Eric and Sara Joy as they try to establish which one of them is truly the bigger fan of Jane Jacobs.Access more Show Notes with pictures and resources related to this episode.More information about this podcast and helpful church and urbanism resources can be found on The Embedded Church website.Related ResourcesThe Death and Life of Great American Cities by Jane JacobsWrestling with Moses: How Jane Jacobs Took On New York's Master Builder and Transformed the American City by Anthony FlynnThe Good City and the Good Life: Renewing the American Community by Daniel KemmisThe Great Good Place: Cafes, Coffee Shops, Bookstores, Bars, Hair Salons, and Other Hangouts at the Heart of a Community by Ray OldenburgDesiring the Kingdom by James K.A.

Why is walking so important for our health, wealth, and the environment? Are there particular conditions in a city that encourage (or discourage) people to walk? Does promoting walkability mean we get rid of all the cars?In this episode, Sara Joy interviews Eric about why he likes the book Walkable City by Jeff Speck so much. And, on a personal note, we learn what are Eric's favorite aspects of walking the neighborhood where his church is located are and how he sees walking as an important component that defines Jesus' ministry while on earth.Through our discussion, we hash out Speck's research that shows there are a myriad of health, economic, and sustainability benefits associated with walking. And, we consider the four conditions, or characteristics, of walkability that he believes need to be present in order to encourage people to walk. Walks need to be useful, safe, comfortable, and interesting. Speck further unpacks each one of these conditions with 10 distinct steps of walkability. We dig into several of these steps for our listeners. In particular, we spend some time discussing step one - putting cars in their place - and what that actually means. Not getting rid of cars, but simply prioritizing people over cars while valuing space for both (in their right places!). We also talk about the important step of mixing the uses and how Speck's focus on housing is a unique and interesting perspective for understanding why mixed-use development in our cities is so critical. We highlight the value of narrow streets, enclosed space, thresholds, and trees for making good, walkable places as well. In short, we show that good walkability has many layers even though it is such a basic act. Access more Show Notes with pictures and resources related to this episode.More information about this podcast and helpful church and urbanism resources can be found on The Embedded Church website.Support our work!

Recorded- June 02, 2020. In this episode, I talk with a fellow fronteriza Edna Ledesma, an assistant professor in the Department of Planning and Landscape Architecture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Edna Ledesma's interests revolve around city design, planning, public spaces, markets, hybrid space, incrementally, and human geography. We talked about how cities are instigators for social injustice and how we as designers have an agency to make a change. We discussed Edna's interesting and extensive research on mercados, fleamarkets, swapmeets, and tianguis, their historical relevance to the Latinx communities but also their current and future potential as models for border economies. We discussed the disengagement of the design fields on social equity and inclusion and how academia could model a future involvement of the design fields.  Recommendations  The Uses of Disorder: Personal Identity and City Life  by Richard Sennett Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Perez, Anna Sak (Translator) Gentefied - Netflix

Sometimes, it seems like technology is developing so quickly that we can't keep up while simultaneously not advancing fast enough.Carmakers, such as Tesla, are now taking advantage of the technological advances that allow allthe functionality of a central processor, many discrete components that perform various functionalities, and more, all to be integrated onto a single chip: the system-on-chip, or SoC.This compute consolidation requires less space and less power consumption, which is ideal for a car that runs off a battery—like many vehicles on the road today. Still, with the high compute requirements for applications like ADAS and automated driving, along with connectivityfeatures and many other features, power consumption becomes a very real issue.This episode of The Future Card Podcast dives into the specifics of how and why car makers are taking advantage of this SoC approach.Discussed In This Episode:The advantages of the SoC approach to computing architecture. (1:33)Why car makers are switching from focusing on mechanical design to chip design and methods of compute consolidation. (6:33)Why carmakers throughout the industry are now collaborating on specifications and the design of key components of vehicle functionality.

John Rahaim grew up in Detroit. His high school day of community service inspired him to understand the city more, and he went on to receive his B.S. in Architecture from the University of Michigan and a Masters in Architecture with an emphasis on Urban Design from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.The Urban Design program focused on man-environment systems which especially fascinated John."It's all about the interaction of human behavior and the environment and how each one affects the other."Pittsburgh's Second Renaissance:After graduating from Wisconsin, he headed to Pittsburgh in the early 80's, at which point it had the third largest number of corporate headquarters in the country. However, over the 15 years that he was there, most of them left, along with the 27 steel mills.Despite this traumatic change to the city's makeup, John credits Pittsburgh's strong ethnic neighborhoods for maintaining their stability, low crime rates, and cohesion in a way that Detroit did not.As a young planner, working with instrumental mentors and a talented, interdisciplinary team in Pittsburgh, John learned what a broad realm of topics planning encompasses."We have to know a little about a lot of things. It's not just about buildings and design and whatever. It's about the economy of the city, it's about public spaces, and it's about transportation, and it's about the price of housing, and all of those things. That is really the kind of mix of things we have to deal with. And that was an enormous lesson for me."From Urban Designer to Associate Director, he created strong relationships and rewrote Pittsburgh's zoning review process. When he decided to move on, he spent some time in Rome to discern the new direction or his career, at which point a position for City Designer opened up in Seattle.Seattle:Halfway through his tenure at the Office of City Design during the late 90's, the city started seeing significant growth. The Urban Growth boundary that the state had required of all counties since the 1990s had forced cities to think creatively on how to expand up rather than out.San Francisco:After Seattle, he was tapped to take the Planning Director position in San Francisco. He was honored to join the rich planning legacy that exists there, however, he knew it would be no simple task.He laughs that the most common greeting he received when he took the job was “Congratulations and my condolences.”Government Service:John notes that on the West coast, local government is bigger and more is expected from it, certainly when it comes to environmental sustainability.He adds that the population is very knowledgeable which gives leaders both support and push back, as seen with the NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard), anti-development movement.I'll be honest, I think part of the aversion to change here is because this place is extraordinarily charming… It's a beautiful city in a beautiful setting. And people are averse to change in a way that is stronger than the other settings I've been in.Challenges in San Francisco:John shares how the housing crisis in San Francisco is due to several factors, including:A consistent decrease in development and residential building.The extraordinary pace of change and turnaround after the recession.The Millennial and Baby Boomer interest in city living.The explosion of tech jobs.The good news is that now they are building more housing than they have in years, and are on pace to meet their six-year goal of building 30,000 housing units.In addition, he has begun diversifying the Planning Office's responsibilities. This transformation spans duties from co-leading the city's efforts on sea level rise to building a community development team focused on stabilizing vulnerable neighborhoods, to leading the city's efforts on transportation planning.Planning Directors:John believes the profession has really matured over the last 30 years. While San Francisco certainly faces unique challenges, many cities are struggling with the same issues and concerns. For example, housing for the middle class is a huge issue everywhere, and transportation is a close second.Advice:John's advice to those interested in entering the field is to get a broad range of experience in both the public and the private sector. Particularly, he says you need to try to understand the financial motivation in the real estate industry, and why developers and builders do what they do.Link:San Francisco Planning Department
