How many organizations are involved in the construction of our cities? It takes a village, and no man is an island. Implementing changes requires partnerships between governments, the private sector, and civil society. So, how do we build partnerships of change, and what needs to be done to establish strong collaborations in time to make a difference? And what is the role of the architect in the multidisciplinary attempts to build better cities? In this special edition of Let’s Talk Architecture Michael Booth has travelled to New York to ask: What makes a good partnership? Listen to this episode, where he talks to Brooklynite Ifeoma Ebo, founder of the urban design studio Creative Urban Alchemy, and the Copenhagen based architect, founder of the studio EFFEKT, Sinus Lynge. They both engage in diverse types of partnerships, which is crucial in changing the value chain of the built environment.
