or the longest time, cities have been building buildings with little care for humans. Steven Cornwell has observed this and he is helping turn this around as the Global Director of ERA-co. ERA-co is a global place brand that aims to bridge the gap between the making of buildings and the ecosystem itself. In this special series, Steven joins Corinna Bellizzi to talk more about building regenerative cities and living spaces. He dives deep into what being a global place brand is and the work they are doing to provide better places to live and better outcomes for the planet. What is more, Steven discusses the current challenges of finding affordable housing, having a regionalized food system, and regenerative farming. He also talks about the importance of both systemic and cultural change and the value of community building. Tune in to gain a different perspective on creating sustainable cities and food.
