Ep 243: Designing creative, community & human first cities with Professor Carlos Moreno

The highlights episode is also out now! Professor Carlos Moreno, a specialist in the intelligent control of complex systems joins me to discuss the urgency to rethink the design of urban infrastructure in the face of the climate crisis among other collective problems. Author and pioneer of The 15-minute City, Carlos is a huge proponent of humancentric design, putting communities, creativity, and collective voices over capitalism-led planning. He explains his vision, why we have become so disconnected, and disaffected, and the role of the automotive industry in breaking up neighbourhoods, leading to marginalisation and inequality. One of the world's great minds brings some fantastic possibilities to The Creative Condition. https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-15-minute-city-a-solution-to-saving-our-time-and-our-planet-carlos-moreno/7627781 https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?fetchDeterministicClustersOnly=true&heroEntityKey=urn%3Ali%3Afsd_profile%3AACoAAARSRwcBlT7inbfERe9iTxLLGhSfmB4TDCM&keywords=carlos%20moreno&origin=RICH_QUERY_SUGGESTION&position=0&searchId=dc31c44b-e817-4f25-93bd-68dd31a3568e&sid=h0O&spellCorrectionEnabled=false https://bentallonwriter.com/shop for The Creative Condition book and the brand new 'Anatomy of Creativity' map.
