Transcript

I'm John Torek. And I'm Danny Sullivan. On the next episode of speaking of design, we'll talk to Justin Robbins, a transportation planner and true student of cities. Justin talks about how transportation has historically shaped the design of cities as we know them. He'll also share his passion for autonomous vehicles and how they're changing the way we approach the design of everything from urban spaces to college campuses and even airports. Within the past seventy years,

we've created the automobile. It gave us this unparalleled connectivity between places. We can go from point a to point b directly, and we can go really long distances at a very fast speed. And that had these massive consequences for how cities are developed and built. Quite honestly, I mean, this is my consequences for how cities are developed and built. Quite honestly, and this is my interest in autonomous vehicles. The transportation part, the technology part,

it's fun, it's interesting. But really what catches my attention is what it means for our cities. It's all the secondary effects that I think we're still trying to grapple with. To the extent that cars change the way we develop cities and the way that we look at land use, autonomous vehicles are going to have, I think, the same amount of effect. Coming up on the next episode of Speaking of Design.
