Town Hall Seattle & Cascade present: The War on Cars & CityNerd

When the very first cars rolled off production lines, they were considered a technological marvel, predicted to make life easier and better for all Americans; yet a hundred years later, that dream is running on empty. From climate change and congestion to traffic congestion and the damage to nature, cars ruin everything.

 

In their new book, Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile, Sarah Goodyear and Doug Gordon — hosts of the podcast The War on Cars — unpack the scale of damage caused by automobile dependency, the forces that have created our current crisis and are invested in perpetuating it, and the way that the fight for better transportation is deeply linked to the fight for a more equitable and just society.

 

Town Hall Seattle and Cascade Bicycle Club are proud to present Goodyear and Gordon in a conversation with Ray Delahanty — aka City Nerd on YouTube — about what people can do to realize a world with fewer metal boxes zooming around.
