Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Ever since World War II, the American dream has included a house in the suburbs. But as traffic and congestion turn the dream into a nightmare, residents are decamping to urban-style communities where they can walk more and drive less. Join Kojo as we look at how the Washington region is leading the country in the new trend toward “walkable urbanism.”
Guests
- Chris Leinberger Visiting Fellow, Brookings Institution; professor and director, Graudate Real Estate Program, University of Michigan; author of "The Option of Urbanism: Investing in a New American Dream"
- Chris Zimmerman Member of the Arlington County Board
