Are Beautiful Buildings Good for Cities?

What role does beauty play in shaping our cities? On Good for Cities, host Matti Siemiatycki sits down with Alex Bozikovic, the Architecture Critic for The Globe and Mail, to dive into the world of design and urban planning. They discuss the critical role of architecture criticism, how to define truly outstanding architecture, and the importance of design in massive projects like Transit-Oriented Development. The conversation explores the aesthetics of modern architecture, the value of public spaces, and how a critic's perspective can challenge assumptions about city-building and community design.
