A chat with John Lewis on how we might reset out cities and communities.


John Lewis is the President and Founder of Intelligent Futures, a firm of versatile community problem solvers that have worked on challenges as diverse as urban agriculture, community sustainability, social well-being, urban renewal, arts and culture, community livability, and affordable housing.

- the meaning and role of urban planning, city building, and community engagement

- why and how we should design spaces for people (not cars)

- what an intelligent city looks like to John 

- how to befriend our neighbors by making lots of noise
