    Season III / Episode 4: What if we ran the thing?—Building Economic Democracy

    “What if we thought of the Bronx as an economy of scale? And what if we try to create a plan for the borough that actually brings all of us in, where we share a vision, where we share in leadership, and where the wealth and capital is owned by us and bred by us? So the simple phrase is: what if we ran it?”—Michael Partis Host Isabelle Swiderski sits down with Michael Partis, current Executive Director of the Red Hook Initiative and previously ED of the Bronx Cooperative Development Initiative to discuss the making of the Bronx-wide plan and what it takes to build economic democracy in a borough that’s been underestimated and underfunded but never gives up on its people and its values.

    Season III / Episode 3: The Practice of Democracy—From Redlining to Equity

    This episode features April De Simone, a transdisciplinary practitioner working at the intersection of architecture, planning, and systems thinking. She collaborates with different communities across the country, bringing to light the lasting impacts of redlining, urban renewal, and gentrification. What are new ways to explore housing as a key node in ecosystems underpinning community fabric and the reinvention of democracy? How might we consider where we live as one aspect of our entire experience and health? How can under-represented voices finally be heard and valued to co-create equitable systems and shared value? April shares insights related to her collaborative experiences surfacing, reframing, and dismantling intentionally designed systems of inequity and, how, through this reimagining, we might, somehow, find a new path to democracy.
