She has dedicated her career to building and discovering models of sustainable development that can influence change in cities.Victor Dover is principal with Dover Kohl & Partners Town Planning, in South Miami, Florida. He is taking on the challenge of retrofitting the suburbs of America into lively, walkable communities. Listen live Sundays at 9 a.m. central on the WKNO FM Stations, NPR for the Mid-South.
