About this conversation

Writing, Curating, Strategising: Lucy Bullivant’s Urbanist Toolkit

Good urbanism needs more than drawings. It needs writing, research, public engagement, curation, politics, storytelling and the patience to connect people with place.

Stephen Drew speaks with Lucy Bullivant, author, strategist and curator, about masterplanning, exhibitions, retrofitting, publishing, Temple Bar Trust and how urban design conversations reach wider audiences.

The conversation covers:

How writing and research shape urban design thinking

What curating exhibitions can teach architecture and planning

Why retrofitting and sustainable urbanism need stronger public stories

    Hello everyone and welcome to the Architecture Social Show. So round London I go to some cool events and occasionally, oh, quite a lot. I meet these really cool people in the architecture scene who host events, who add to the conversation, and I wanna download their brains and their experience, get them on the podcast so that we can learn from them.
