This is an amazing talk about how to intentionally design our cities to be true community centers that people WANT to hang out in. The part that sticks out the most for me is when Kunstler states that we shouldn't have to have special events to get people to come downtown. In Olympia, for instance, we shouldn't have to have a street fair, or PRIDE, or Lakefair in order to get people to hang out downtown. We should begin designing, and redesigning, our downtown so that it attracts people naturally.
