Ep. 18: Faith-based urban planning

Metropolis: A Livable Cities Podcast

On the Jan. 31 episode: The urban design of Salt Lake City, Utah. This week, Matt and Luke are joined by very special guest Claire McWatt, project coordinator at Volunteer Toronto and general winter slope enthusiast. She tells us about her recent trip to Salt Lake City, Utah and gives us an overview of where that city is succeeding at urban design. Bike lanes in a cold weather city? LRT on snowy city streets? It’s true. All of it. We also talk about safety on the streets, the hidden value of social services and how it might be helpful if more religions had angel-given rules covering urban planning. And, for all your Mitt-heads, we also talk about Mitt Romney, briefly.
