Hi. 👋
I’m Kevin
Van Lierop.

For more than a decade I have transformed the way people see & inhabit their cities and neighbourhoods. Much of this work flies the Good City flag.

Now, I am mostly reading.

As the northern hemisphere settles into what is certain to be a long and lonesome winter, I have chosen to enjoy an extended period of quiet time. I will be reflecting upon the things I value most and planning for the actions I have yet to take.

While away, as a substitute for a full archive of work I offer some perspectives on place:

• A Manifesto for Gathering in the Name of Neighbourliness
• Authentic Experiences
• Big City Lights
• Circumnavigating Lake Fanshawe 🏞️
• Don’t Worry. [this city] is Awesome.
• For Community
• Hamilton Road
• The Importance of Place
• My Hometown Sucks, Place, and Shared Sameness
• Observations (film)
• On Appreciating the Land Which Surrounds Us
• Paris, France
• Parking (Ottawa, Ontario)
• PARK(ing) Day
• Place as a Verb
• Rochester, New York
• [this city]
• This Once Was
• Vacant
• What About Our Stories?
• What is Place but a Social Construct?

If you are looking to get a hold of me, please send me an email.
