Welcome to Our Buildings, Our Selves: Humanity in Architecture, a monthly podcast produced by Common Edge, the Connecticut Architecture Foundation, the Connecticut AIA, and Bridgeport community radio station WPKN 89.5 FM.
We’re in a housing crisis. Duo Dickinson and Martin C. Pedersen talk with Gerhard Mayer and Lindsey Stirman, co-founders of the Living Communities Initiative, a Los Angeles-based organization dedicated to creating a new paradigm for housing development. They reject both NIMBY-ism (not in my backyard) and its knee jerk opposite, YIMBY (yes to any sort of housing, regardless of its quality). And argue instead for a different mode: QIMBY (quality in my backyard). When projects include elements like walkability and gentle density, opposition to new development disappears.
