Episode 1 is now available as a free download podcast on iTunes. This episode looks at a brief history of the American Landscape and the American Dream. Lars Lerup, former Dean of the college of Architecture at Rice University, comments on the suburban landscape and introduces his new book "1 Million Acres and No Zoning". Peter Calthorpe, founding member of the Congress for New Urbanism and acclaimed urban planner and architect, explains how we got where we are today as well as where we are going and how his new book "Urbanism in the Age of Climate Change" addresses current issues.
