Description

This is a long one. But I couldn't help myself. You'll soon see why. Enrique Penalosa is an exuberant lover of cities. Equitable cities. He served as Mayor of Bogota, Colombia not once, but twice, profoundly transforming his city from one with no self-esteem into an international model. As Mayor, Enrique launched TransMilenio, a bus mass transit system, which today moves 2.4 million passengers daily. He also built an extensive bicycle network at a time when only a few northern European cities had one, along with greenways, hundreds of parks, sports and cultural centers, large libraries, 67 schools and a radical 33-hectare redevelopment in the heart of Bogota, previously controlled by drug dealers. This required demolishing more than 1200 buildings. Recently he published a new book called Equality and the City. Look for it on Amazon. Of course, the accolades are too numerous to mention here. Enrique's work is considered significant and influential by many and the list of awards is long. There's a lot to learn here. More than an hour of podcasting can hold. If you'd like to join me in my quest to rethink real estate, there are two simple things you can do.
