When is this interview from?
I have a sincere hope for an answer, though im 5 years late.
May I give a personal attention to your question? Sennet says at the begining (30-35s): "To me and my and my generation...". He was born in 1943. This context is relevant in the fact that, until 2015 (considering any context changes to urban societies preceding to this date) he has lived the changes of society in the West - I will step here and assume the second world war as the most disturbing event, which rearraged urban life - until this date. Considering covid19 as not part of this context. I honestly think, though difficult, this should answer your contextual question.
Olmsted wanted to free black people by destroying Seneca Village?
Cities have soul, as Platon the ancient Greek philosopher msaid: will call the ascent of the soul to Being, an education that will lead them to higher knowledge and after 50 years will ... lead to the prosperity and wellbeing of the city and its citizens.
Rowe and Koetter make this argument far better. Sennet is a crashing bore
