CNU 22: James Howard Kunstler & William Fulton

James Howard Kunstler and William Fulton, two of the world's top urban thinkers according to Planetizen.com, take a provocative look at the future of Buffalo and the NY region.
Kunstler is one of the most outspoken critics of suburban sprawl in books like "The Geography of Nowhere" and "The Long Emergency", and is a native New Yorker who lives in Saratoga Springs.
Fulton was born and raised in Auburn, but is now the Planning Director of the City of San Diego (the "City Makeover-in-Chief") and the former VP of Smart Growth America.
Join these two heavy hitters for a nuts-and-bolts look at how cities in New York can be successful and resilient in the coming decades.
Catherine Schweitzer, Executive Director of The Baird Foundation, will provide introduction and moderate.

Always great: the intensity, with which he speaks! With the supply-chain chaos of 2022 in view, is this even more interesting.... let's see, how 2022 and 2023 work out....

Fulton does a good job of taking Jim's fun-drama style and putting it into terms that are less exciting, but more useful.

Kunstler is great, but I just wish he wouldn't sugar coat it all the time 🤣.
