Child Friendly Urban Planning With Magali Thomson of Great Ormand Street Hospital

City Centric Podcast

Magali is one of the 3rd cohort of Public Practice associates and has been placed at Great Ormond Street Hospital, where she is Project Lead for Placemaking. She will be leading a transformational approach to public realm as an integral part of the planning process for Great Ormond Street's new Children's Cancer Centre. Her work at The Children's Trust, which provides rehabilitation, education and community services for children with brain injury, focuses on assisting them with looking at their masterplan. Magali is studying at the London School of Economics, carrying out an MSc in Cities, which complements her Public Practice placement, and is a step towards following her passion for cities, and spaces in between buildings, especially in relation to children and older people. Previously Magali worked for 14 years at Marks Barfield Architects where she was a director and specialised in education projects, leading a successful education team. This is a great conversation on data analysis, the lived experience, air pollution, and urban equity. You can follow and chat with Magali via https://twitter.com/magalitt.
