Send us Fan MailIn this episode we explore the blueprint of future cities, that embrace sustainability at their core, with Erik Frijters of FABRICations, a visionary in architecture and urban design, who joins us to share his groundbreaking ideas. Erik's journey intertwines philosophy with innovative design, challenging the traditional boundaries of our urban environment. Erik  advocates for a symbiotic relationship between production methods and neighbourhood vitality, and how a deeper understanding of urban ecological systems is indispensable. We explore the complexities of modernist planning and how it often overlooks the intricate web of connections that bind city systems and regional ecosystems. And of course, we talk about the formidable challenges climate change introduces to our urban landscapes, and about the idea of the 15-minute city model and its potential to reshape the way we conceive urban development.Follow GoodGeist for more episodes on sustainability, communications and how creativity can help make the world a better place.
