Replay: Sustainable Infrastructure for Cities and Societies

25 Dec 2025 · 1 h 02 min

We're joined by Professor Michael Neuman to talk about his book Sustainable Infrastructure for Cities and Societies. We chat about why trees are important models for infrastructure development, the important lessons of Barcelona for the world, and why infrastructure is lately seen as a monetary asset instead of a public good.

This week we're going back in time to Episode 392 from July of 2022. I really loved this book and hope that more people would read it. It's an academic title but Professor Neuman really shared a lot of new ideas and thoughts in here. And I love the discussion about trees as beings way wiser than us humans…. Also I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We might have something for you next week but I'm not going to guarantee it. We do have some AMAZING things coming next year so stay tuned!
