Description

"Zoning's not for everybody." Brooke Thomas, the Senior Director of Strategic Planning for the Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation, better known as IndyGo, knows what she's talking about. Having fought for some truly remarkable and progressive zoning reforms in a growing midwestern capitol, she's spent more time than most talking about the importance of land use and how the decisions we make today about what we build today will determine a city's economic future. In this episode, Cate and Ben talk with Brooke about what the Blue Line rapid transit industry is doing for Indianapolis now and the many links between public transit, climate change, good jobs, and quality of life at the neighborhood level.
