⁠#153: How Music Can Make Your City Better (ft. Shain Shapiro)⁠

It's Not Just In Your Head

Ikoi and Liam talk with author of 'This Must Be the Place', Shain Shapiro. We discuss re-conceptualizing music through a systemic lens, how it effects quality of life, building codes, work opportunities, mental health and its near total absence in public policy.

"This Must Be the Place introduces and examines music’s relationship to cities. Not the influence cities have on music, but the powerful impact music can have on how cities are developed, built, managed and governed.

Arguing for the transformative role of artists and musicians in a post-pandemic world, 'This Must Be The Place' serves as a how-to guide and toolkit for music-lovers, artists and activists everywhere to begin the process of reinventing the communities they live in."
