New video! Alternatives to sprawl and building better suburbs

Added 2021-11-30 16:00:08 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone!

My last few videos have been relative downers, and so this time I have some hopium for y'all. For the next week you should have exclusive access to my longest video yet, in which we review examples of groundbreaking, livable, transit-oriented, and family-friendly suburbs that have been built in recent decades in Denmark, Austria, Germany, and Sweden. We conclude by reviewing policy changes that would allow any country to build better 'burbs, rather than the endless sprawl.

I apologize for the delay--I moved to Amsterdam for grad school over the last few months, and the combination of the move and the new classes completely halted work on the video for a while. I've settled into a more consistent life pattern now however, so new content should come slightly quicker. The move also disrupted my recording environment, so you'll notice that the audio quality is a bit iffy at times in this video. I will work to improve that for the next video.

As usual, if you spot any editing issues that I missed, let me know and I'll re-upload before making the video completely public. Thank you again for your patience!
