About the Podcast:

The Perfect City podcast delves into the importance of human-friendly urban design while also addressing the historical context of urban planning and the impact of rigid limitations on good city development, such as zoning codes.

We will explore the factors that contribute to built environments that are enjoyable, walkable, beautiful, safe, productive, sustainable, and healthy with the goal of identifying the right approach to building great cities in the future.

We are Tayana Panova, PhD, psychologist and urbanist, and documentarian Ariel Viera.
