Vishaan Chakrabarti on Creating an Architecture of Belonging

Vishaan Chakrabarti, the founder and creative director of
Practice for Architecture and Urbanism (PAU) as well as the Dean
of the William W. Wurster College of Environmental Design at the
University of California, Berkeley discusses the future of
mobility, designing streets as public spaces and creating an
architecture of belonging with reSITE founder, Martin Barry.
Vishaan has made some thoughtful arguments against banal,
processed urban design being detrimental to our ability to thrive
as human beings, drawing on imagery from the globe's most iconic
cities, contrasting them with the cold anonymity of many modern
ones, and applies this to what he see's as an inevitable
evolution—the elimination of private cars. 


Design and the City, is a podcast produced by reSITE about the
ways we can use design to make cities more livable and lovable.
reSITE is a global non-profit and platform connecting people and
ideas to improve the urban environment. We work at the
intersection of architecture, urbanism, politics, culture, and
economics, acting as a catalyst for social action and innovative
leadership. We encourage the exchange of ideas about making
cities more livable, competitive, resilient, inclusive, mobile,
and designed with humans in mind to protect and public space,
architecture, and sustainable development in cities.
