  Architect and professor Kate Dudzik-Smith, an expert on trauma informed design, tells us how designing for the needs of the human body is central to all design considerations especially when dealing with vulnerable populations like the homeless and even those pioneers who go up in space. This conversation is for everyone because trauma-informed design is just good, thoughtful, and universal design that benefits all people, regardless of status, background, and whether you have plans to go to outer space.

  Episode 33: Equitable Neighborhoods, Arizona ADU and Missing Middle Laws

  Feb 11, 202653 min

  Listen to my conversation with former State House representative, housing advocate and architect Christian Solorio about equitable neighborhoods and the recently passed state laws mandating fewer restrictions on accessory dwelling units and missing middle housing. Christian was heavily involved in the passing of these laws and he tells us why he thinks they're so important. He also introduces a new City of Phoenix program where homeowners can choose from approved standard ADU plans instead of creating plans from scratch and how this program will make it that much easier to make affordable housing and equitable neighborhoods in Phoenix a reality.
