Talking Headways: A Streetsblog Podcast

This week we’re joined by Shannon Mattern, professor of Anthropology at the New School for Social Research. Shannon talks with us about her new book A City is Not a Computer: Other Urban Intelligences.  We discuss the ideas of smartness versus wisdom, the idea of maintenance as a way of absorbing information, and the city as a processing machine, just not in the ways you might automatically think.   Follow us on twitter @theoverheadwire Support the show on Patreon: Http://patreon.com/theoverheadwire
