Episode Synopsis

Episode 19: In this episode of Trust the Process, we explore why walkability is so elusive in modern suburban development. From wide streets and single-use zoning to the psychological cues that make pedestrians feel unsafe, we unpack the design decisions that have shaped our car-centric cities. We also touch on historical context—from horse paths to high-rises—and why cities in Europe and the East Coast often get walkability right by accident, not by design.We dive into zoning complexities, and ask what it will take for walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods to become more than just a planning ideal. Whether you're in real estate, urban planning, or just curious about how we build better communities, this is a must-listen conversation.
