In Part 2 of Urban Morphology, we look at the agents of change. Who is responsible for destroying the Back O’ Town neighborhood and erecting a City Hall there that no one wants to use? Find out on this edition of “Planner Pop” from River Runs Backwards.

Back-O-Town was a vibrant, black neighborhood in New Orleans that gave birth to jazz. Today it is an area mostly filled of void spaces and a city hall that mayor’s have begged to abandon. How did it come to be this way? Tune into this edition of Planner Pop.

Planter Ludo, designed by 1st Place Winner, Estephania Barajas, is a self-watering planter, focused to meet the height and accessibility of the most vulnerable: children, the elderly, and the disabled. Using the same trapezoid shape, planter Ludo encourages the essence of play and allows for a system that is simple, modular, and flexible. The goal and the ambition was to make a planter that can create more interesting and fun spaces; a planter that can grab a child's attention while simultaneously informing and explain its own operational components - an intersection of education and play.

We’re back, and this time, we’re 2. Join us for completely authentic vintage public service announcements and a face-melting jaunt across time in this episode of River Runs Backwards!
