Today's episode is a fireside chat with the team around the recent book 'Messy Cities - Why We Can't Plan Everything', edited by Dylan Reid, Zahra Ebrahim, Leslie Woo, and John Lorinc. We discuss the key questions the book poses, “Have our rules and regulations squeezed too much of the life out of our cities? But also how do you plan and design a city that is safe and functional while also leaving room for spontaneity and serendipity?” with local and international examples.
