Downtowns That Make – with Ilana Preuss

Episode 41

In this episode, Ryan talks with Ilana Preuss, author of Recast Your City, about the role small-scale manufacturing can play in building stronger, more authentic downtowns. They explore how what a place makes can be a powerful expression of its identity, why makers and producers are often the missing piece in downtown revitalization, and why the answer to a thriving downtown isn’t always more retail.
