Welcome to the 91st episode of Urbcast , in which we will talk about: What is the defense of the big, dense city ?
Why should we talk about it?
Because we face various challenges in our cities, and a big and dense city can be an answer to those. Is that though a recipe for every city? Let’s have a closer look at what are the pros and cons of dense, high and a common city like Copenhagen .
Why is it worth listening to?
Because Simon has a wide experience, observing density in various cities like London, New York or Copenhagen. In the talk, he shares the assumptions from his book, which defends the big cities , as the most efficient ones. As the book is available only in Danish, you can listen about it here.
