Event Description
James Howard Kunstler is a leading commentator on the state of America's cities. In The Geography of Nowhere and Home from Nowhere, he exposed the depressing realities of post-war suburban sprawl. His remedy centers on the hope for a "new urbanism," the return of compact, walkable cities—the kind that existed before the rise of what he terms the "automobile slum."
