“place making is the beating heart of inclusive cities”
Maria Adebowale-Schwarte
Creating inclusive cities | Maria Adebowale-Schwarte | TEDxLondonWomen
“Maria Adebowale-Schwarte, Founder of Living Space Project first understood the true nature of urban inequality when passing through a wealthy neighbourhood on her way to a netball match while in secondary school. This experience sparked a preoccupation with disproving the idea that inequality in our cities around the world is an inevitability. Maria takes us back to the principles of the 1940s and the creation of the UK’s “Town and Country Planning Act” to examine how the ownership and value of land has changed from once being for the collective benefit has moved too far to being for individual gain.
From collaborative design to co-investment, she identifies the core principles at the heart of placemaking can shape an inclusive future for our cities. Maria is a city and an urban place strategist, focusing on collaborative design, policy, and funding models that are inclusive and equitable.” TedxLondon Women
