Topics:<\/p>\n

How Charles’s background in urban planning exposed him to the problems of sprawl development
\nCharles’s books\u00a0Thoughts on Building Strong Towns, Volume 1<\/a>\u00a0&\u00a0Volume II<\/a>
\nThe fiscal\u00a0unsustainability of sprawl development
\nCharles’ point that the key factor in urbanism is\u00a0Incremental Development<\/a>
\nCharles’s point that cities must be viewed as ecosystems
\nThe “build it they will come” fallacy, and how traditionally massive infrastructure projects were designed to serve existing population centers(ex.Roman Aqueducts)
\nHow pre-automobile cities tend to be the most viable
\nNassim Taleb’s\u00a0Antifragile<\/a>\u00a0theory, and how it relates to urbanism
\nThe Density Question<\/a>, Charles point that density should neither be fetishized nor seen as inherently bad, but must take into account incremental development
\nHow cities such as New York and San Francisco have value independent of their economies, while places like the Silicon Valley would become unviable if their industries collapsed
\nZoning laws and land use regulations
\nThe movement to\u00a0Retrofit Suburbia<\/a>, how it’s a step in the right direction, but has it’s limitations
\nHow cities will contract in the future, with people living in both cities and towns, but that it’s the space in between that’s unviable
\nMicro Apartments
\nPolitical divides, and how when it comes to planning issues on a local level, people tend to be more pragmatic than dogmatic
\nThe Public vs. Private sector role in infrastructure, and how Charles’s point that things that are high risk should be in the private sector, and low risk in the public sector(ex. Wall Street baillouts)
\nThe role of the government in historic preservation and protecting the environment
\nHousing and affordable family formation<\/p>\n
