Show Notes
This week we're joined by journalist and host of KQED's Forum Alexis Madrigal to discuss his book The Pacific Circuit: A Globalized Account of the Battle for the Soul of an American City. Alexis connects containerization to globalization and its direct impacts on an Oakland neighborhood. We also chat about histories of determining blight, silicon valley's part in global trade, and why we need new thinking about urban change.
