Empowering Cities: Forging a Transatlantic Dialogue

Diego Rivas, Emma Gasster Veröffentlicht am

In this episode, New Urban Progress fellows Neel Brown, Maria Willett and Steffen Haake share impressions from their trips through Germany and the United States, including how cities deal with modernizing their transportation system, drawing up inclusive housing and establishing public safety infrastructure.
