Today’s guest is Dr. Troy Glover. He is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies and Director of the Healthy Communities Research Network at the University of Waterloo. His research explores the role of leisure in advancing or deterring community, primarily through the development of social capital and transformative placemaking. This expertise generally leads him to research topics such as community gardens, neighbourhood festivals, dog parks, playgrounds, tourism. Today, we’ll be chatting about his recent book chapter “Bringing Public Spaces to Life: The animation of public space” in the book “Companion to Public Space” By Vikas Mehta and Danilo Plazzo, published by Routledge in 2020.
