Kaarin Knudson is an architect, a writer, and an educator with more than 25 years' experience in design, sustainability, and community building. Trained as a journalist before becoming an architect, her work has always focused on people and place. In 2017, after a decade in architectural practice, she organized the public-interest project Better Housing Together to address Lane County's housing crisis. This work supported the creation of Eugene's Affordable Housing Trust Fund, Lane County's first Affordable Housing Action Plan, and Oregon's landmark middle housing reforms. In 2024, she was elected as Mayor of Eugene, Oregon, with 73% of the primary vote and 96% in the general election. Kaarin teaches planning and urban design at the University of Oregon, and she speaks at regional and national conferences about sustainable cities, housing, and the work of guiding community change. She is co-author, with Nico Larco, of The Sustainable Urban Design Handbook (2024).We discussed what this moment is calling us all to do. “I think we are building new muscles and new relationships and new patterns of behavior with one another,” she said. “This is challenging us to think about how to work in different ways and how to stay focused on the future that we want to build. The framing of the problem is going to determine the solutions. We have to be the people who are framing the problem in a way that allows the solutions to be more connected, more productive, more about advancing into this future together.”

Kaarin Knudson became the mayor of Oregon’s second largest city, Eugene, on Monday. She delivered her first state of the city address shortly after being sworn in. Knudson says increasing housing capacity and revitalizing the city’s downtown are among her top priorities. But first, she faces a budget shortfall and will need to work with the city council to find a way to fill it. Last year, a proposed municipal fee to address the shortfall drew a lot of public opposition and the council decided not to vote on the issue. Knudson joins us to tell us more about her first official week on the job and her priorities for her term.
Planners have a difficult job. In addition to being experts on their own technical field of planning, they must also understand a variety of other disciplines — like architecture, landscape and ecology to name just a few. These fields are complex in their own right, and planners must consider and translate these concepts for laypeople and elected officials alike. Nico Larco experienced this information overload firsthand and decided to build a resource to compile and contextualize the essential elements of sustainable design. The result was The Sustainable Urban Design Handbook, which he co-authored with Kaarin Knudson.

Key takeaways from our guest, Kaarin Howard: Leadership's Role in Embracing and Driving AI Adoption:Kaarin touches on the critical role of marketing leadership in embracing and driving AI adoption within organizations. She suggests that leaders must not only be open to AI but actively encourage their teams to explore and integrate AI solutions. This leadership approach is essential for fostering an innovative culture that leverages AI for strategic advantage.The Impact of AI on Marketing Team Dynamics and Structure:Reflecting on the future of marketing teams, Kaarin speculates on the potential for AI to streamline team structures. "Will I need six copywriters? No, now I only need two," she states, indicating that AI's efficiency gains may lead to leaner, more focused teams. This shift could impact hiring strategies, team dynamics, and the overall structure of marketing departments, pushing towards a model where quality and efficiency are prioritized over quantity.AI tools & resources mentioned in this episode:MidJourneyMutinyHugging FaceThe Rundown AI NewsletterConnect with Kaarin Howard: linkedin.com/in/kaarin-howard/ For more support on navigating the disruption of Generative AI:Go to: themarketinghelp.co/genai to access:A free excerpt from our recently published book : CMO Disruption Playbook: Generative A.I.Your Gen A.I.
