Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Planners have floated a sweeping vision to make the monumental core of downtown Washington more open and inviting. Their wish list includes the demolition of eyesore buildings and the construction of boardwalks, pedestrian bridges, a new subway stop and a new water taxi service. Join Kojo as we discuss this vision for Washington and how other cities around the world have revived their downtown areas.
Guests
- Marcel Acosta Executive Director, National Capital Planning Commission
