The Aesthetic City

5
Design #74

How come our modern cities have become so hostile to humans, so ugly, car-oriented and grey? What is the solution to these problems - how can we return to a more human, beautiful and liveable city? In this podcast, host Ruben Hanssen interviews experts in the fields of architecture, urban planning and urban design to find out how we can improve our cities, our architecture and our streets, in order to create more friendly and beautiful places. The clock is ticking; valuable land is wasted on dreary developments while many beautiful, picturesque urban environments are at risk of being jarred forever by ugly buildings that don't belong there. There are better ways to build; let's explore how!

    Mind-opening
    I’m a retired architect and actually don’t think about building much these days. I stumbled upon the related YouTube channel and then started listening to this podcast. It’s making me reevaluate traditional architecture which is a really interesting experience.
