The cul-de-sac has long been a symbol of the suburbs. But now, it's a polarizing feature of urban design. Is it an oasis where kids can play safely or an isolating feature that prevents us from meeting our neighbors?
We examine how cul-de-sacs came about and how they influence life in KC.
Guests:
- Kristen Jeffers, urban designer and author of The Black Urbanist
- Daniel Serda, urban design specialist, inSITE
- Ellen Dunham-Jones, professor, College of Architecture, Georgia Tech
