Update: 2025-08-14
Description
In this episode, Levi sits down with Laurence Qamar is a town planner and architect with over three decades of experience designing walkable neighborhoods and new-urbanist developments across the country. Laurence shares his “Scales of Community” framework — a scalable, flexible approach to town planning that allows neighborhoods to grow organically, block by block. We explore what makes a place walkable, how alley-loaded blocks change the development equation, and how tools like the transect can guide more thoughtful design. Laurence also reflects on his work in communities like Seabrook, Bella Beach, and Woodbury.
