Life After Cars: Reimagining Cities for People
Presented by: The Columbus Metropolitan Club
What if the way we move is shaping the way we live — but not for the better? Join the authors of the new bestselling book “Life After Cars” and “War on Cars” podcast co-hosts Sarah Goodyear and Doug Gordon for a provocative conversation on how car culture has reshaped our cities, communities, and climate — and what it might take to build a future centered on people, not vehicles. Featuring Devayani Puranik, COTA, with moderator D’Laveance Bert-Sims, Transit Columbus.
