In this episode of Beyond Streets, we sit down with urban planning legend David Dixon—dubbed by us as the “Urban Planning Yoda”—to explore how cities can adapt to a changing world. From walkability to housing, transit to community-building, David brings decades of insight into how post-WWII patterns shaped our cities and how today’s leaders can design more equitable, vibrant, and people-centered places.
We talk about why density is a tool (not a threat), how community needs are shifting, and why enlightened self-interest might just be the secret to unlocking political will.
A hopeful, grounded, and deeply practical conversation on what it takes to build cities that invite us in and bring us together.
