This week we're finally doing it! We're going to Kingwood Texas and talking about the greenbelt trail system I've been telling everyone about for years. This is a storytelling episode, featuring guests John Walsh, Jerry Lunow, and Bill Neuhaus so I hope folks enjoy hearing about NASA, timber companies, bike trails, and Houston's bayous. But also, stick around to hear how a suburban development in Texas from the 1970's mirrors and pre-dated Dutch bike planning with special guest, Streetsblog Chicago's Steve Vance.

This Week on the Talking Headways podcast we're joined by Bill Fulton who has worn many hats including mayor, planning director, think tank director, publisher, professor and currently can be found writing on Substack at The Future of Where. We chat the impacts of work from home on cities, changing migration patterns and the south's new role as the "National Suburb", tax policy and burdens, 100 years of zoning law, and much much more.

This week on the Talking Headways podcast we're joined by Greg Shill, Professor of Law at the University of Iowa, and Jonathan Levine, Professor of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Michigan to talk about their paper, First Principals of Transportation Law and Policy. We talk about how to rethink transportation metrics towards accessibility, how the law has embedded mobility in transportation, and why we really travel.
Hey everyone! This is an episode we put out in February of 2023 with Greg Shill and Jonathan Levine about their paper discussing how to rethink transportation metrics by putting forward accessibility. One of the things I've gotten out of this one for the long term is that we travel not just for kicks, but mostly to reach destinations. I referenced this show in a recent post on my blog so I thought the July 4th weekend replay would be a good place to share it again.
