This Week on Smart City
We'll speak with two people with grand ideas for the future of city living.
First we'll speak with Tim Beatley co-author of the book Resilient Cities: Responding to Peak Oil and Climate Change. He says it will take intelligent planning and visionary leadership for cities to respond to environmental and economic crises now and in the future.
And we'll speak with architect Bernard Zyscovich. Bernard has designed many buildings all over the U.S. but he's turned his eye to urban design in his new book Getting Real About Urbanism: Contextual Design for Cities"
