Shared Space
Shared Space uses science and storytelling to reveal the power of architecture and design to make us healthier, happier, and more connected.
Building A Better Block with Andrew Howard
How can a one-day event spark lasting change? How can community design be open sourced? What should we be measuring if we want to gauge positive change?
I talk with transportation and placemaking expert, Andrew Howard about his experiences doing just this with Team Better Block. Andrew is the director of placemaking at WGI, a national design and professional services firm leading in technology-based solutions for the construction of public infrastructure and real estate development. Andrew co-founded Better Block in 2010 as a transportation and placemaking focused public outreach firm that temporarily re-engineers auto-dominated, blighted, and underused urban areas into vibrant centers.
