How do we know if our cities are livable? There are many cities that you’ve visited that have felt much more or much less livable to you compared to the one you call home. And this is no different than how livable other peoples’ homes feel to you compared to your own home. But the difference with cities is that thousands or millions of people call it home, and that makes it more challenging to steer them in a certain direction without creating significant injustices.
So how do we still guide our cities to become more livable while continually trying to eliminate the systemic injustice that occurs?
My guest Kea Wilson, Senior Editor at Streetsblog USA, humbly shares how she thinks about the challenges in doing this, how to expand the conversation so that people of color and other vulnerable but important members of our cities no longer live in perpetual fear, and the importance of good narrative in revealing our own limitations of understanding.
There’s a ton packed into this interview but I’m confident you’ll appreciate Kea’s introspection, energy and willingness to show up and say that she doesn’t have all of the answers.
