#052 - Ankita Chachra: Playgrounds are Burning: Why Urban Design Must Change Now

If you're a parent, grandparent, or caregiver, you already know: cities were not built with you in mind. One third of all city trips are for caregiving - so why are we still designing cities around commuting?Ankita Chachra has spent her career asking questions like this - and designing better answers. From Delhi to The Hague to Brooklyn, she’s seen how small choices in city design - like where a bench goes, what material covers a playground or how fast a car can drive - have a huge impact on how safe, connected, and livable our cities really are. Especially for children and families.She believes that if a city isn’t built for kids, it’s probably not built for you either. And in this conversation, she explains how designing for care isn’t just good policy - it’s radical, urgent, and incredibly practical.To explore more about Ankita Chachra and her work, you can follow her on Linkedin.Capture, Nurture & Close Leads with GoHighLevel.Join me, Ladina, on this green journey, and don't forget to subscribe for more insightful conversations about sustainable living and architecture and drop us a review.
