While urban planning can sound boring, how we choose to live is as fundamental a question as exists.
Eric Higbee is a landscape architect who teaches university courses on community engagement and works on community design and planning projects through his award-winning landscape architecture practice.
Student journalist William Donofrio is part of a growing group of changemakers who are noticing, documenting, and sharing the struggles their places face.

Mayor Kevin McDonnell and Dave Alden, co-leader of Petaluma Urban Chat, join us from Petaluma, California. They discuss the Know Before You Grow initiative, a community-driven effort that's helped encourage housing development in the city's downtown.

Chuck sits down with Ryan Johnson, the founder of Culdesac Tempe, the first car-free neighborhood built from scratch in the U.S. They discuss the realities of living in and developing a community like Culdesac.
