We were in Valencia last week for an event on the New Urban Culture. The city is glorious. The mixture of historic architecture, stunning Calatrava buildings and an incredible waterfront is intoxicating. Right now the city is in the midst of a debate over how to redevelop that waterfront. On the one side are those that would like to make it into a Monte Carlo sort of place – with a private water-front oriented to America’s Cup races and other events. On the other are those who would like to see the waterfront be developed as a public asset with a mix of housing, retail, commercial and public use development.
Here’s an interview I did with El Pais, Spain’s leading newspaper (in Spanish).
