About the Show


Technology has given birth to a new place, according to Dalton Conley,
author of the new book Elsewhere USA.  In it, he describes the way the
American social landscape has changed from
the 1950's ideal of a split between work and home, to a constantly
connected 24-hour economy.  He'll tell us what it means to combine
work with leisure, and investment with consumption.


And we'll speak with John Norquist of the Congress for the New
Urbanism
.  He'll tell us about trends that are shaping urban
development world wide and how the way our streets are laid out
affects our daily lives.
