Episode 89: Global Ideas for Local Placemaking
Wednesday, 20 August, 2025
In this episode we bring you the highlights from Global Placemaking Summit which took place in March at Evergreen in Toronto. First, we drill down into the meaning to the term with some of the event organizers: Placemaking Canada's Andrew Pask, Evergreen's T.J. Maguire, and Placemaking X's Ethan Kent. We speak to Melbourne Australia's Gilbert Rochecouste, founder of Village Well, about lessons Toronto can learn from his city's famous laneway network. Tim Tompkins of the Sustaining Places Initiative tells us how parts of Manhattan, NYC was pedestrianized, and how to keep momentum beyond pilate projects. And PlacemakingUS's Madeleine Spencer talks about placemaking in communities who are under assault from the current American government.
