Driving Through The Ruins | Good Cities

from New Polity · host Marc Barnes

In this episode of Good Cities, it's time to get mad at cars...again. Cars were promised to be freedom on wheels, but most people experience driving as forced upon them; monotonous, traffic-ridden, and expensive. Jacob Hyman and Nathan Bird discuss how cars have made us slow, anxious, and separated from each other. Our cities once were bustling downtowns, and now they're a series of parking lots and crisscrossed highways. Also in this episode: what to do to remedy the impact of the car on cities and how to oppose the car for a better city. Welcome to Car Wars 2. Check out our magazine!
