In this episode, we are joined by Ashley Thomas and Patti Giggans and we ask ourselves the relationship between community safety and design. From the removal of Indigenous people across the US, to the construction of interstate highways in the 20th century, land development means progress and growth for some; but for many others it can mean being pushed to the margins, and the destruction of existing communities and habitats, which creates isolation and disconnect often fosters the conditions for violence.
Yet the most important thing to know is that these cities are created by design, by people. They're not naturally occurring things they are created and they can be recreated in different ways.
