A proposito di questo titolo

How do you transform a downtown into a place people actually want to spend time in?

In this episode of The City Playbook, Tim Giuliani sits down with James Lima, founder of JLPD, a national urban design and planning firm, to explore how Downtown Orlando is being reimagined through people-first design and strategic placemaking.

As Orlando undergoes a major shift—converting one-way streets into two-way, slowing traffic, and reconnecting key districts—this conversation breaks down the real impact of urban design on economic growth, small businesses, and quality of life.

This episode covers:
  • Why walkability and “placemaking” are essential to thriving cities
  • The economic impact of two-way streets vs. one-way traffic systems
  • How urban design influences small business success and real estate value
  • What makes cities like Barcelona, Paris, and Boston so desirable
  • The shift from “central business districts” to “social districts”
  • How Orlando can attract and retain talent through better urban experiences
  • The role of connectivity between cultural districts, restaurants, and entertainment
From trails and mixed-use development to street-level experiences and community activation, this episode reveals how intentional design creates cities people choose—not just pass through.

If you’re interested in urban planning, economic development, real estate, or the future of Orlando, this episode is a must-watch.
