People Behind the Plans: Greg Lindsay

Courtney welcomes to the podcast Greg Lindsay, who visited Chicago
in March for the 2018 National Shared Mobility Summit, and the two
grapple with how developments in technology are radically changing
cities and affecting the work planners do across the country. As a
journalist, urbanist, futurist, and speaker, Greg thinks constantly
about cities, and he argues that we've chosen to make living in the
dense urban core a luxury good. Greg is also a senior fellow at
NewCities and the director of strategy of its offshoot LA CoMotion
— an annual urban mobility festival in the Arts District of Los
Angeles — as well as the coauthor of the book Aerotropolis: The Way
We'll Live Next, which Courtney and Greg discuss. The phenomenon of
co-working and co-living spaces, tactical urbanism, and the equity
implications of certain technologies also make their way into this
dynamic conversation.
