## Content

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. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILDwnzQNlGc&w=560&h=315] 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.
