Talking Headways Podcast: Does Your Street Bring You Joy?

We talk about livable streets — live from the Brooklyn Podcast Festival!
Talking Headways Podcast: Does Your Street Bring You Joy?

This week, we taped our show live at the Brooklyn Podcast Festival, chatting with Ryan Westrom of Greenfield Labs and Ford Smart Mobility. Westrom discusses his report, Design Principals for Living Streets, and the history of on-street storage of private vehicles in the public right-of-way (euphemistically called “parking” by drivers). Audience members were asked to give their favorite streets, and I threw in a little Marie Kondo for good measure.
