Mr. Dover is insane. His work was cited by Architecture magazine as being among ‘‘the country’s best urban designers and architects.’’

His places are cited in a lot (if not most) of the planning textbooks , he has done over 200 Charrettes, served as a national chair for CNU, Coauthored STREET DESIGN: The Secret to Great Cities and Towns (with previous guest John Massengale) ... and continues to design beautiful cities today :)

In this episode we talk about how Victor got into the field of town planning, his video series (City Planning Stuff Everyone Should Know, the importance of trees and parks, how to fix your downtown's, retail today, and some ideas on the future of housing.
