Interviews with people who shape the physical and social quality of places: urban designers, architects, placemaking practitioners and consultants. Among them are Jan Gehl, Fred Kent, Andrew Hoyne, Ryan Short, Chris Wade, Rafael Enzler and Abdulrhman Alsayel.
They discuss how public spaces, design and community involvement make cities more liveable, and why a credible place brand depends on what a place actually offers, not only on how it is promoted.
Interviewees are nominated by peers and invited by TPBO. Background reading: placemaking explained. More leaders from other fields: Who is Who.
