The Urban Future - Views From The Left Coast
Today's special episode is Joel's talk on urban cities from his recent event at Chapman University. Enjoy.
The Future of Cities
The Western US has long been an innovator in developing the urban form, notably in the creation of suburbanized, multipolar cities. Yet now that model is showing strain, and there’s a fierce debate about how western cities should grow. The panel will explore these issues, from homelessness to high housing prices and the impact of regulation.
With an all star lineup including:
Charles Blain- Urban Reform Institute
Karla López del Río- Community Development Proffesional
Ryan Streeter- State Farm James Q. Wilson Scholar
Natalie Gochnour- Associate Dean in the David Eccles School of Business
Joel Kotkin- Presidential Fellow in Urban Future, Feudal Future Podcast Host
This event will be moderated by Henrik Cronqvist and panelists will discuss how the Western US, a long-time innovator in developing the urban form, is now experiencing issues from homelessness to high housing prices and the impact of regulation.
Customer Reviews
Pushing forward thinking
Great show to really understand that it’s okay to be in the middle
Great stuff
I heard Kotkin interviewed by Steve Bannon and I bought the book. So glad to find the podcasts so I can soak in the sauce for a while before I grapple with the meat in the book. I suspect Bannon is right. This is the warning we must heed in order to stop the property less unfulfilled existence that could be around the corner to neo-feudalism.
Loving the podcasts.
