Today’s new Kunstlercast, the weekly podcast by James Howard Kunstler and Duncan Crary, features Jim taking listeners on a virtual walking tour of Paris, France using Google Street View. Paris is a classic example of great urban design and an examination of it is helpful in understanding what urbanism means. The Kunstlercast player is embedded above, allowing you to listen here on Fort Worthology. Below, I’ve embedded the Google Street View scenes that Jim and Duncan use to tour the city.
