American weakness, wrongheadedness & wrath needed to be fully exposed to be expunged. Trump’s MAGA movement did that. Toxic nationalism and fascism are melting around the world. What’s left behind is getting back to the basics of democracy--people & places building each-other up.

Supporting busking will draw out the soul of a city, and celebrate the creativity and culture of the local community. My conversation with @buskingproject:

Privatization of public spaces through planting & #landscapearchitecture is unfortunately a threat to growing public use & investment. To drive more demand for greening, human use, maintenance & management of the public realm we need to keep optimizing its use for human outcomes.

Highlights from a quick visit to Warsaw, Poland after #PlacemakingWeekEurope. Visits to several Polish cities have inspired me to try to learn more about Poland's successful development model through public realm investment. #PlacemakingPoland #PlacemakingEurope #Placemaking

"One of the bravest, boldest things that humans do is to perform right at the centre of a community. That vulnerability melts away the barriers that exist in society. The buskers that thrive are the ones that contribute most to shared experience, to happiness and connection."
