THE URBAN ALPHABET
It occurred to us in 2024 that there are so many things that we love about cities and city-making: things that make cities healthy, happy places, things that make us happy and well in cities - with this in mind, we decided to start a running album of thoughts on the subject.
At Makower Architects, we have been in the business of shaping cities for some time now – our ten-year anniversary has been and gone – and we've built up a wealth of knowledge and experience, as well as musings, reveries, ideas and kernels of insight.
So, as a way of starting the next decade, we are collecting these into an exploratory, and hopefully, thought-provoking scrapbook of ideas, drawings and impressions, which we are naming:
THE URBAN ALPHABET: An A-Z of Healthy City-Making
We will start things off with the first 26 entries, running from A-Z, conceived by Tim Makower, to be followed by posts from Heather Macey and others. We hope this running album will grow and evolve into something bigger. But for now, our intention is simply to delight and inspire others with our passion for the city and our hopes for its future.
We hope you enjoy it!
TM and HM
