What this episode covers

Aaron Lubeck is a designer, builder, and urbanist who’s spent over two decades shaping sustainable, walkable, and affordable communities, with a deep-rooted passion for the US South. He’s the founder of Southern Urbanism, a platform dedicated to reimagining city-building below the Mason-Dixon line, and the voice behind onHousing, a podcast and Substack where he tackles housing policy, zoning reform, and the art of incremental development. A restoration contractor by trade, he’s led groundbreaking projects like Durham’s first net-zero-energy home and pushed for zoning changes to bring back "missing middle" housing. His book Green Restorations reflects his commitment to blending historic preservation with modern sustainability, while his work with Southern Urbanism keeps him at the forefront of a regional renaissance in place-making.Find more information about Southern Urbanism and OnHousing here:https://www.southernurbanism.org/ https://www.aaronlubeck.com/ ======== For more information on The Aesthetic City, find our website on https://theaestheticcity.com/We launched our course: https://aesthetic-city-academy.thinkific.com/products/courses/aesthetic-city-academyLove what we do?
