Building better cities builds better communities

Human despair today is driven less by economic hardship and more by the breakdown of strong, healthy communities that begin with strong healthy neighborhoods. This is the view from street level from Chris Arnade. 15 years ago, he walked away from Wall Street, and now he spends his time taking buses and walking in cities around the world. He's currently in Australia. He sends dispatches from his travels for his Substack, Chris Arnade Walks the World. He says if we improve neighborhoods, we can improve the world.
