In this episode we talk with author Richard Rein who illuminates the life and work of the extraordinary William H. Whyte. Rein's revelations, based on his book "American Urbanist: How William Whyte's Unconventional Wisdom Reshaped Public Life," shed light on how Whyte's discerning eye for public spaces revolutionized urban design. Our discussion traverses the path from Whyte's iconic "The Organization Man" to his trailblazing stance on pedestrian-friendly cities.
