Episode description
This week we’re joined by Kyle Paoletta to talk about his book American Oasis: Finding the Future in the Cities of the Southwest. We discuss the growth and history of southwestern US cities, how indigenous people didn't disappear but adapted, the importance of language and identity, and climate adaptation lessons for cities from the driest region.
