Urban streets often are a place of threats rather than community. Gentrification has made the everyday lives of many, especially women, even more difficult. In this conversation, Leslie Kern exposes the social inequalities that are built into our cities, homes, and neighbourhoods, and offers an alternative vision. It is time to dismantle what we take for granted about cities and to ask how we can build more just, sustainable, and careful cities together.
