Professor Shoshanna Saxe is an expert in the social and environmental impacts of large infrastructure projects, such as new transit lines or highways. Using data-driven tools such as life cycle analysis, her research helps us learn from our past mistakes and points us toward optimal solutions for safer, cleaner and more liveable cities.
In this episode, Saxe provides her perspectives on why a $400 billion brand-new city in the desert might not be such a good idea, what "building back better" could actually look like, and what those who advocate for "smart cities" sometimes miss about the way our urban centres actually work.
