from Talking Headways: A Streetsblog Podcast

This week we're joined by Alexander Garvin, author of the recently released book What Makes a Great City. In this episode we chat about why people are an important factor in building cities and taking pictures, why Houston's Post Oak Boulevard is going to show up Chicago, San Francisco, and New York's best streets, and Alexander's heroes from Edmund Bacon to Haussmann to Robert Moses.
