Ep. 59 Houston’s Highways: Past, Present, and Where They’re Going

We sit down with Dr. Kyle Shelton, Director of the University of Minnesota Center for Transportation Studies, to talk about his book, Power Moves and the history of Houston's transit infrastructure. Throughout, we discuss the environmental consequences of car dependency, when alternative movements in transit have proved successful, and why Houston is a leading example for understanding how sprawl is reshaping American cities across the country.
