Cities After Covid with Brad Lander: Even if the worst of the pandemic is over, some of the changes it foisted on our lives seem like they're here to stay. In cities around the nation, office space in dense downtown areas is well below full utilization, as workers spend more days working from home. Same goes for public transit weekday ridership. What happens to American cities if they're no longer the place to which people commute each weekday? Our guest this week points out that there’s a great deal that city leaders can learn from each other about reimagining cities during this latter phase of the pandemic. Brad Lander is the comptroller for New York City and serves as the city’s budget watchdog and chief accountability officer. He’s also an urban planner and community organizer. Lander joins WITHpod to discuss some of the key problems NYC and other cities have faced during pandemic recovery, navigating actionable solutions, the role of federal intervention, the uniqueness of this mo by Why Is This Happening?

Can tiny home communities solve the homelessness crisis?: Every city in Canada has struggled to solve the problem. And what's mostly ended up happening is tent cities in public places, controversial and sometimes violent removal of those encampments and then a whole new cycle begins. So many people in this country have nowhere to go, and we simply don't have adequate shelter for all of them. This is where tiny home communities come in. Self-sufficient, stable and outside the official system enough to provide places for those who simply won't fit anywhere else. So where have these places sprung up? What's it like inside them? And can they really be a viable solution to a crisis that continues to escalate? GUEST: Justin Chandler, Hamilton-Niagara reporter, TVO.org by The Big Story

Don Norman: Putting the User Back in User Interface: Don Norman is a professor at UC San Diego and the founding director of the Design Lab at UC San Diego. He is a renowned expert in design, usability, and cognitive science. Don authored several influential books, including "The Design of Everyday Things" and "Design for a Better World." Key Takeaways: Human-centered design should evolve into humanity-centered design, considering the impact on the environment, society, and all living things. The circular economy, which focuses on reducing waste and reusing materials, is a crucial aspect of humanity-centered design. Collaboration and the involvement of diverse perspectives, including young entrepreneurs, are essential for effective design.
