In 2012, Jeff Speck's Walkable City sparked a conversation about why pedestrianized places matter and became one of the best-selling books about the built environment in recent memory.

On this episode of The Brake, host Kea Wilson sits down with Speck to talk about an update to his classic book featuring 100 pages of new material, and how new technology, pandemics, and the movement to make cities anti-racist have reshaped his view of America's transportation future. And along the way, he shares some of the highlights from his reading list, and how his goals as a pedestrian advocate are continuing to evolve.
