What if city design could prevent harm before it happens—and even lift our sense of purpose? Booked on Planning sat down with architect and planner Phillip Tabb to explore spiritual wellness as a practical, universal lens for shaping healthier streets, homes, and public spaces.

Over a century ago, access to books was a privilege, rather than a right shared by the public. Yet one man’s philanthropic vision changed the landscape of public learning throughout the United States. That man was Andrew Carnegie, a self-made industrialist millionaire with a dream. Between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Carnegie assisted in funding the construction of over 2,500 libraries across the world, more than 1,600 in the U.S. alone. Carnegie’s libraries not only opened up the availability of books and knowledge to the general public, it laid the foundation for the modern public library system.
