Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
A lot of city dwellers see their sidewalks as essential to their neighborhood. But what do you do when residents openly reject sidewalks — and mount a campaign to keep them off their streetscapes? We talk with architect and urban planner Roger K. Lewis about what the debate over sidewalks in several D.C. neighborhoods says about public space and self-identity.
Guests
- Roger Lewis Architect; Columnist, "Shaping the City," Washington Post; and Professor Emeritus of Architecture, University of Maryland College Park
- Mary Cheh Member, D.C. Council (D-Ward 3); Chair, Committee on Government Operations and the Environment
