Publisher's Summary:
Carol Coletta is the leader of CEOs for Cities, a national group based in Chicago that works to improve the quality of life in urban areas. When we visited Chicago in early December, they were holding a Connectivity Challenge, a conference that explores ways to encourage Chicagoans to get around the city without owning a car. One of the experts was Jan Gehl. Gehl is an internationally respected architect based in Copenhagen. He has worked around the world to make cities sweeter to people, beginning with his hometown and including Melbourne and New York City. After consulting with Gehl, New York closed Times Square to cars and began adding more bike lanes. Gehl says that if people in cities walk or bike more often, those cities become livelier, healthier, safer, and greener.
Then, Bob talks with Jim Lehrer, host of PBS NewsHour and his former co-host Robert MacNeil. MacNeil began the nightly news report in 1975 with Lehrer as the Washington correspondent. It evolved into the NewsHour with both men hosting until MacNeil retired in 1995. [Broadcast Date: December 28, 2010]
