What if we Cared? What if our Cities Cared?
In this episode, we delve into the topic of care in our societies and its impact on urban environments, architecture, and personal well-being. We talk about the essence of care, not just as a job but as a fundamental aspect of human life and its significant absence in today's modern culture.
The conversation later transitions into a broader discussion on the commodification of care, the growing individualism in society, and the cultural perceptions that have led to a devaluation of caregiving roles. We argue that this shift has profound implications on social and environmental levels, contributing to issues like climate change and urban pollution. The dialogue touches on the need for a cultural shift towards recognizing care as a shared responsibility that enriches both the giver and receiver, fostering a sense of community and connection.
Watch the full episode for insights on the future of cities, advocating for designs that prioritize care for people and the environment, aiming to create more inclusive, sustainable, and caring urban spaces.
