Jeff Speck is a city planner and walkability advocate who also happens to be the author and co-author of two of my favorite urban planning books of all time.

We also discuss the four elements of walkability, the relationship between aesthetics and function and the connection between urban design and civic engagement. Assigned reading for this episode.
