Island Press is thrilled to announce that we are partnering with built environment platform TICCO on a new season of their Shaping Cities podcast! Over the course of the season, TICCO will feature Island Press authors, Urban Resilience Project contributors, and other innovators who are dedicated to making our cities sustainable and habitable long into the future.

In the season premier, TICCO's Erik Felix sits down with Larisa Ortiz, a nationally recognized urban planner, consultant, and URP contributor specializing in commercial district revitalization. In her interview, Larisa dives into her work with commercial districts, the future of retail, and how businesses are adapting in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.
