In this very first episode of Happitecture, I discuss city planning initiatives with Senior Public Space Planner at the City of Vancouver – Danielle Wiley. We chat about the city’s mandate to design inclusive public spaces to advance healthy and inclusive public life.

Happitecture is a podcast that explores our unique cities and what it takes to build resilient and thriving communities that are inclusive, supportive, and promote well-being and happiness.

Join me, Michelle Fenton, as I chat with some of Vancouver’s brightest minds in planning and urban design, community facilitation, design, social sciences, and community activists. We will cover ideas on how to plan and design vibrant, happy built environments, as well as our roles as policy makers, influencers, community facilitators and designers in to promoting ‘collective happiness’ for a resilient and sustainable society.
