Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The Washington region is becoming "polycentric".
Neighborhoods surrounding the core of the Washington region are increasingly resembling the dense urban pockets in the middle of it of the city. Do changing demographics affect how places are built, particularly as more plans for the suburbs revolve around “smart growth” principles? We discuss how rapid growth and public transportation have affected Washington’s suburbs, and what that means for the residents of tomorrow.

- Roger Lewis Architect; Columnist, "Shaping the City," Washington Post; and Professor Emeritus of Architecture, University of Maryland College Park
