Utopian Urbanism is a podcast, blog, and the occasional video

Utopian Urbanism is a survey of land policy, economics, the environment, and people. Utopian Urbanism houses the podcast “You Have Nothing to Lose, but Your High Rent!” which is focused on housing affordability, transportation equity, and social justice. Utopian Urbanism is an editorial project rooted in the SPJ Code of Ethics. The sole writer and editor is L.L. Sontag.
