Best 30 min of your week: Monocle 24 The Urbanist

It's clear, we're not here to think small. We're rethinking an urban landscape, and more importantly, an attitude. We're here to recreate. We're here to grow. Or put it simply, to REGENERATE.

Monocle's David Stevens decamps to Prague to join the 1,000+ attendees at this year’s reSITE conference. Exploring the theme of regeneration, The Urbanist 30-min episode brings you conversations and contemplations from some of the most interesting names in the urban-planning world, as heard from the 360-degree stage.

We're here to REGENERATE. And reSITE's home, Prague, couldn't be a more suitable city.

Architects think a lot about how we can build up structures but very little about how we can take down structures, after their life-spent.
