The City of Tomorrow Was Built Yesterday

from Think Outside the Block · host Ray Park

Future cities always look amazing from above — but what happens at street level? In this episode, Ray explores how past generations imagined tomorrow’s cities, from ancient urban planning and Paris boulevards to Futurama highways, smart cities, and today’s mega-renderings. What did they get right, what did they miss, and what kind of life should a future city actually make possible?
