This is a great TED talk by Edward Glaeser about why it is time to embrace our cities. If you can’t see it below, click here.

The talk was filmed in 2012 – right around the time that Triumph of the City was released – but the video was published at the beginning of this year.

It is also a good add-on to yesterday’s post about transportation costs and cities. I love how passionate Glaeser gets about these topics.
