We're kicking off 2009 with a slice of history and a look into the future of city planning. First we'll speak with John Geraci. John has spent the last six years making life in cities better through web technologies. He'll talk to us about his latest project, DIYCity, a site dedicated to finding ways that technology can make cities work efficiently, effectively and sustainably.
Plus, a look back on the past. The 70s and 80s were turbulent times for New York City, but an iconic image, the "I Heart NY" symbol, went from a slogan to a way of life . We'll speak with author and sociologist Miriam Greenberg about her book "Branding New York."
Smart City is a syndicated, weekly hour-long public radio talk show that takes an in-depth look at urban life: the people, places, ideas and trends that affect us all. Host Carol Coletta, president and CEO of CEOs for Cities, talks with national and international public policy experts, economists, business leaders, artists, developers, planners and others on the pulse of city life for a penetrating discussion on urban issues.
Smart City is broadcast at 6 a.m. Saturday and Sundays on WKNO-FM, but it is also webcast and podcast so you can listen to it anytime you like. For the webcast, times for the broadcast in other cities and to sign up for the podcast, visit our website.
