Cities in Motion is a podcast about what it’s really like to get around — walking, biking, riding transit, or living with fewer cars. We talk sidewalks that vanish, stadiums you can’t walk to, “paint-only” bike lanes, and cities where transit works like magic (plus the ones where it doesn’t).Each episode asks how the design of a city affects real life — our time, stress, safety, money, and independence. We celebrate places that get it right, call out places that don’t, and imagine what it would look like if moving through a city felt easy again.Join us as we explore cities built for people
