Gil Penalosa on Building Playful, Equitable Cities That Work for Everyone
In this episode of Architects for Change, Jay sits
down with Gil Penalosa, an international urbanist and founder of the nonprofit
8 80 Cities, which advocates for cities that are equitable, sustainable, and
accessible to people of all ages. Gil offers his unique perspective as a global
urban planner and recent mayoral candidate in Toronto, where he finished second
in the 2022 race. Together, they discuss his visionary approach to transforming
cities, emphasizing the importance of proximity, public spaces, and rethinking
urban design to prioritize people over cars.
Join us as we explore what it takes to create healthier,
happier, and more playful cities—and why it's crucial for politicians, urban
planners, and communities to collaborate on this shared vision.
