View Project: The Bend: Georgetown Live-Work District

4: People + Budget x Art = Experience — Ben Rankin

Urban planning shifts our architectural perspective from the scale of a lifetime, to the scale of a city — an intervention we know will outlive us. This shifts the perspective away from us and today, to the community and tomorrow.

We know that a participatory community builds resilience of place. How do we balance this with budget, speed, and trust?

Mark chats with Ben Rankin, a Community Development Partner at Watershed Community Development, which is overseeing the creation of The Bend, a 7-block live/work district in Georgetown that offers affordable housing and space for art, making, and community resources.
