Radiolab: Cities
Friday, November 23, 2012
In this hour of Radiolab, we take to the street to ask what makes cities tick. Two physicists explain one tidy mathematical formula that they believe holds the key to what drives a city.
Yet math can't explain most of the human-scale details that make urban life unique. So we head out in search of what the numbers miss, and meet a reluctant city dweller, a man who's walked 700 feet below Manhattan, and a once-thriving community that's slipping away.
