Interview: Don Schmitt on Sprawl
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 12. 1.05
Donald Schmitt is partner in one of Canada's most prominent architectural firms and has strong opinions on urbanism and sustainability. He was recently interviewed on a remarkable website, Raisethehammer.org, dedicated to the revitalization of Hamilton, Ontario. This town of half a million has all of the assets a great city needs: industry,topography, location and a stunning harbour, yet somehow lost its way. Ryan McGreal is trying to bring it back and doing amazing work through Raise the Hammer; Don Schmitt has added his wisdom in this interview where they discuss sprawl, Jane Jacobs and designing liveable cities. ::Raisethehammer.org
