What is the Future of Cities After Covid-19? Time for People to Move Away? Did Walt Disney Get it Right with EPCOT?

from The Best Paragraph I've Read... · host Zac & Don

The Best Paragraph I've Read: "America’s fractious and tragic response to the COVID-19 pandemic has made the nation look more like a failed state than like the richest country in world history. Doom-scrolling through morbid headlines in 2020, one could easily believe that we have lost our capacity for effective crisis response. And maybe we have. But a major crisis has a way of exposing what is broken and giving a new generation of leaders a chance to build something better. Sometimes the ramifications of their choices are wider than one might think." This paragraph is from an article in the Atlantic titled: "Get Ready for the Great Urban Comeback."  The article is written by Derek Thompson. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/10/how-disaster-shaped-the-modern-city/615484/  Zac and Don talk about how and if cities will change from Covid-19.  They also discuss whether Americans should move back to rural areas and If there is anything we can learn about Walt Disney's dream of building EPCOT.
