Can Cincinnati Return to its Urbanist Roots?

Like many cities, Cincinnati has strayed far from its urbanist roots over the past century. And like many cities, it’s slowly working its way back. For this video, we’ll dive into Cincinnati—its urban heritage, its sprawl-y present, and its slow progress towards urbanism. And for the first time, I’ll lay out my vision for what transit should look like in a city.

    This is interesting, thanks for sharing! I lived in Cincinnati as a child and remember my dad walking to the end of our street to get on a bus to ride to work. I left the area as a young adult, but have driven there since (have fam in Hamilton) and have always found the growth and sprawl remarkable. I thought that was because where I have lived as an adult, but it sounds like not.

    I like the plan!

      Very cool. Yeah, Cincinnati’s sprawl is crazy - but there’s a lot of opportunity for transit oriented development so I guess that the optimistic perspective.
