Summary: The number of people living in cities grows by about 6 million each year. And with all this growth, experts are looking for ways to make cities more comfortable, affordable, and accessible for everyone. Ashley sits down with Shayna Pollock, a self-proclaimed “transit nerd” who works for Central Atlanta Progress, a nonprofit focused on improving the livability of the city. Shayna has questions about how to ensure that everyone can reap the benefits of public transit, and how to spread that message throughout her city. Ashley brings her questions to Kevin Bacon, an urban designer at Atlanta City Studios -- a “pop up” design studio that’s re-envisioning Atlanta with everyone in mind. They’ll discuss how the physical design of public transit can improve urban life, what needs to be protected, and how communities can prepare to grow without losing the city they love.
