“Childwashing and Other Sins” – a recording of the webinar I delivered for the Placemaking Poland network.

We invite you to join the webinar series hosted by the Placemaking Poland community. As part of the preparations for Placemaking Week Europe, taking place in Wrocław this September, we have launched the “Deep Dive” series.

For Skanska Residential, I had the opportunity to design the next edition of the podcast that the company publishes in TOK FM – “Happy Cities”.
I have talked to Urbcast. I told about the book I’m writing with and for children, what children need in a city and why it is so important that urban space is child-friendly and meets those needs. The episode (in Polish) is here.
Meet my characters: Hugo, the 7-year-old narrator of my book, his 10-year-old sister Jana and their mum Mimi. See how Hugo explains what the urban game is about. Enjoy and try to play a bit yourself on your way to work!

After May in Le Plessis-Robinson, where I was surrounded by a new ‘old town’, in June I went for CHANGING CITIES V conference. It took place in Corfu town, which made me reflect further on a topic of place, continuity and power, as well as different aspects of memory in urban environment. Memory of the place was also a big topic of the conference itself, with a day session devoted to it.
When my children heard I would speak on a conference in Paris, they immediately asked me if I was going to visit Disneyland. I said ‘no’. But now, upon my return home to Warsaw, when I sat down to wrap up events of the week of IMCL conference in France, I realised that I actually had visited it.
In 2022 I will present in: Paris (Le Plessis-Robinson), Corfu and Dublin.
