A century ago, only one in 10 people lived in an urban environment.
100 years later, a majority of us call a city home. Darren Walker brings
us a fascinating global perspective on the Century
of the City, the title of the new book from the Rockefeller Foundation
that details strategies for creating livable cities in developing
nations and the U.S.
And...fundamental to any city is its infrastructure. Our guests Michael Singer and
Nancy
Rutledge Connery join us to talk about their recent
publication: "Infrastructure
and Community: How we can live with what
sustains us." Michael is a noted artist
whose designs for big complicated works projects are as beautiful as
they are functional.
