  • Great topics, even better discussions

    I turn to this podcast on my commute. I appreciate that it helps me dig into content on a topic with the time I have, then decide if I’d like to read the whole book later. The hosts are great at posing the questions in a way that planners from any city can take something of value from the conversation. Highly recommend that you add this to your rotation!

  • Excellent

    This is show has been an awesome resource studying for the AICP exam and on planning in general, defs recommend. The work put into it is much appreciated!! I do wish the episode titles and notes were more clear about the book/ author/ person being interviewed. That would help for quick reference and also help reach a wider audience.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Nothing Works
Q: Starting off, can you give the background of progressivism and how it started?
Progressivism began as a response to the loss of local agency caused by expanding rail networks and large private interests; it sought to balance power between big public institutions and smaller local actors through a push for both regulatory oversight and public participation, with a debate between Brandeisian smallness and big government tools.
Messy Cities
Q: What role do you think planners can have in supporting the cultivation of creating these messy cities that allow everyone to thrive?
Planners should lead with inquiry, asking questions about what a good life looks like for everyone and ensuring that planning practices support community needs without suppressing diverse expressions of urban life.
Messy Cities
Q: Can you talk about how to avoid creating some of these harms while trying to also create thriving communities?
Understanding that messiness is not urban disorder; it should enhance people's lives, creating opportunities rather than interrupting access.
Messy Cities
Q: What were the ideas that you and your co-editors were trying to express in this book?
We wanted to show that messiness is a pluralistic concept that cannot be contained and that it varies based on individual experiences and cultural interpretations of order.
Road to Nowhere
Q: What should planners, engineers, architects, city officials, people that have the capacity and are working on creating plans do to avoid situations like this that happened in Rosemont?
They need to think critically about the incentives and consider who benefits from decisions made in urban planning.
