Civic Design and Urban Innovation: Designing Human-Centered Neighborhoods

In this episode, I talked with Eric Ho, co-founder and Director of Architecture Commons based in Hong Kong, a design agency for urban innovation. Eric is an architect, entrepreneur, and urban thinker passionate about architecture and urban environments that have a lasting impact on society. He  described civic design projects he led in New York and in Hong Kong. Eric emphasized the value of cross-sector collaboration (citizens, businesses, institutions and governments) for social innovation while highlighting associated challenges and suggesting that design thinking can be a language to support collaboration. Last, Eric reflected on the challenges to move from design thinking to design doing and social impact.  Follow Eric Ho on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/architectericho/ and on The Commons' website: https://www.acommons.com/ Credits: Conception, host and production: Anne-Laure Fayard Sound design & Post-production: John Klima Music: Blake Rook Art work: Guilhem Tamisier
