"Creating Memorable Community Spaces" with Ric Stephens
[OLD PODCAST EPISODE] On this episode Ric Stephens, the current President of the International Society of City and Regional Planners (ISOCARP), joins us for a conversation on “Creating Memorable Community Spaces”. What factors or traits make community spaces memorable? How do we integrate resilience and climate change into community place making? And what topics are going to be the most impactful on our future community designs? We visit with Ric on all of these questions in an effort to learn from his experiences in order to create playful, memorable, and mysterious public places in our own communities.
For more information on Ric’s background please visit his LinkedIn profile.
