In discussion with host Carie Penabad, Rybczynski seamlessly weaves historical insights with future predictions, guiding listeners through the evolution of American cities from colonial planning to the 21st-century age of the market. The conversation highlights projects like the Brooklyn Bridge Park and the new Israeli city of Modi'in as contemporary examples that challenge the conventional notions of urban living, urging listeners to envision the possibility of creating the cities we want through an alternative blueprint for the future design of our built world.
