Podcast appearances and mentions of howard blackson

Howard Blackson is the Howard Roark to my Peter Keating. He's the oil to my water. Well, alright, maybe not so much. But we have sparred from time to time over American city grids, and urban design issues that all of about 100 people get really into. Beyond that, he's a passionate San Diegan, and a very accomplished planner and designer.We finally had a chance to do a podcast together, and soldiered through some rough tech issues. Forgive any bumps.Yes, we talk some about grids, about the US West and the Laws of the Indies. But we spend more time talking about Howard's intriguing concept of the Next Urbanism, which he outlines in this presentation below.Key links:Howard's personal websiteJonathan Segal's website (Architect as Developer)Find more content on The Messy City on Kevin's Substack page.Music notes: all songs by low standards, ca. 2010.

Products of the Mind Episode 7: Howard Blackson, Urban Designer, Placemaker, and Raconteur Welcome to Episode 7 of Products of the Mind. In this episode, I interview urban designer Howard Blackson. How does he create physical environments, and what are we not seeing when we look around our cities? Howard Blackson Howard Blackson is an urban designer; but since nobody seems to know what that is, he’s happy to educate us. In this episode we get some interesting history on urban design, including the fascinating connection between the Weimar Republic (the predecessor to Germany’s Nazi regime) and Harvard’s Design School. We’ll discuss the human habitat, also known as the “built environment,” and Howard will give us insights on issues such as: How do you start the design of a new city? Where do you put the center of a town? Is suburbia sustainable? Can we replicate the 1950’s? The discussion leads us to other quite interesting topics such as: utopianism; Frederick Law Olmsted’s plan for New York’s Central Park; design and economics (such as mixed-use buildings versus Walmart); and how homelessness, gentrification, and the housing crisis all relate to design. Do you know what you’re looking at when you drive around your city? What are you looking at without actually seeing? How do cultural cues and values impact design? How can you be involved with creating a better built environment? This and so much more with Howard Blackson.
