James Connelly is vice-president of the Living Future Institute. He is an architect. This episode will appeal to designers and developers, as well as those wanting to hear how cities are becoming toxic free. "Let's make our communities socially just, culturally rich, and ecologically restorative" is the Living Future mantra.  They also say "Our communities are long overdue for a redesign" and that "People all around the world are creating spaces that regenerate life".

James has been instrumental in growing the Declare label. The "ingredient label" for construction products.  This is such a simple yet amazing concept and is rapidly being applied by manufacturers and specified by designers.  See the podacst show notes on the website at beautifulpeoplebeautifulcities.com
