The PlaceLabs podcast accompanies the quarterly events, allowing listeners to hear various perspectives on the themes we discuss. In monthly episodes, we go deeper than is possible at the events themselves and seek to offer inspiration and solutions.

Ep. 05: PlaceLabs Origins

In this episode, rather than looking at a theme in placemaking as we normally do, we look at PlaceLabs itself. What was the idea behind it? What drives us, what do we hope to achieve? Introducing ourselves – the people behind PlaceLabs – we also reflect on previous events and episodes. Hopefully this will inspire you to join the conversation. Please do!

But what does this new hyperlocalism mean for communities? How do we build — or should that…

Ep 03. Assumption

Assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups. And yet, a hell of a lot are made in the making of places. In this episode, we’re asking how different our cities and towns would look if we challenged our assumptions. Do we need to move towards more “mindful assuming”? Towards an awareness for when and what…

Ep 02. Pause

We decided to use lockdown as a Pause: as a moment of introspection to reflect on where we came from, and especially as a moment to define where we would like to go. The futurist Peter Ellyard says, “the future is not a probable place we are being taken to, but a preferred place we are creating.”…

Ep 01. Disaster?
