An Inclusive City, for All Ages




I am happy to announce that the AIA Pittsburgh magazine Columns has just published my work, once more! You can read my article about the talk Gil Penalosa gave at WESA here.

<< When asked about addressing how to engage people who don’t want change, Penalosa explains what has worked for him: “Do honest consultation with people. Make meetings that are easy to attend, for time and location. Make sure to reach the right targets in the population: all the ages. Listen, listen, listen!” Penalosa says there are three phases of understanding a city’s needs: WHAT is missing, HOW it is wanted, and WHICH project is necessary to achieve the goal. “Only once you understood those do you call the architects.” >>
