On this episode, we'll look at how these older immigrant enclaves emerged and explore the newer trends in immigration in our cities, as well as the impact these demarcated communities have had then and now – aside from all the great food, of course.

  • ITS003: Public Taxis vs. Private Ride-Hailing Services

    Isn't That Spatial is a podcast dedicated to casual geography and the spatial component of whatever.

    Hey, have you heard about this Uber thing? On this episode, I'm looking at ride-hailing services – so-called public taxis versus newer, private app-based services such as Uber and Lyft (among many other players in the market). How do these services fit in to the urban transportation picture? Are the new private services the key to the gaps in our transportation system? Do they complement or harm the public taxi system, or the public transportation system for that matter?
