Why are our cities built the way they are, and why does it often feel so hostile to pedestrians? In this episode, Herman and Corn dive into the "operating system" of our lives—urbanism—exploring essential concepts like "Stroads," the "Missing Middle," and the financial pitfalls of suburban sprawl. From classic texts like Jane Jacobs to modern movements like Strong Towns, the brothers provide a comprehensive reading list and practical advocacy tools for anyone looking to transform their neighborhood from a car-dependent maze into a thriving, walkable community. Whether you're a frustrated commuter or a budding activist, this guide offers the vocabulary and vision needed to build cities that prioritize people over pavement.
