Love & Trash in the Big City

Also available on Apple Podcasts

In this episode of The Intelligent Community, ICF Co-Founder Lou Zacharilla has a conversation with Rachael Cain, Founder of Pick Up Pigeons.

In this edition of THE INTELLIGENT COMMUNITY: The Soul of the City, Lou speaks with Rachael Cain, Founder of Pick Up Pigeons, a volunteer club with hundreds of participants who nightly during the week scour the five boroughs of New York City picking up volumes of trash and collecting data. The group was recently named “New Yorker of the Week.”

Rachael is a New York resident, lawyer and urban planner who works on some of the biggest construction projects in America.  She also gets very animated and activated by trash. Where does this passion for her community (and its waste) come from? What does it tell us about people, the built environment, the neighborhood, the city, and the ability to activate communities within our Intelligent Communities?
