273 .ENG Child Friendly Cities & Placemaking - Tina Govan

I listen to this event on zoom by Placemaking Nepal and I love to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it. / Mustafa Sherif.

Tina Govan is a licensed architect and principal of her own firm, Placemaking Studio, in Raleigh, NC. She holds a Master of Architecture from MIT and takes a strongly people-based approach to the design of places. She is an active member of the PlacemakingUS and PlacemakingX networks and has been a key participating designer in their "United Streets of America" program. She is committed to igniting change from the bottom up and uncovering the hidden potential of underserved people and places. She has worked as an architect and placemaker in Japan, Boston, California, and Liberia, West Africa, in addition to her native NC.

She co-founded the "Activate" arm of NC AIA, which sponsors architect-led community projects as a way of strengthening the civic role of the architect, and recently launched “Placemaking Raleigh,” a citizen-led, grassroots placemaking initiative. As a mother and professional, she has become a strong advocate for integrating families, children, and the elderly, of all ages, into the city, and inviting them out to play.
