'Your City Could Be Better': Meet Nashville's Rogue Bench Builders — Presented By City Cast Denver
About this episode
The episode discusses DIY urban projects in Nashville and their impact on city infrastructure.
Are DIY urban projects the key to improving the infrastructure in cities like Denver? The grassroots group To Nashville, With Love has built and installed 60 benches at bus stops around Nashville, all without government approval. City Cast CEO David Plotz talks with City Cast Nashville podcast host Marie Cecile Anderson about what this guerrilla campaign is doing, why it’s gotten pushback from the city, and where Nashville’s Tactical Urbanism program fits into all this. Plus, the unique challenges of Nashville tourism. Mentioned on the show: "Who Put Benches at Nashville Bus Stops — and Why Did the City Remove Them?"
