Street Design & Politics of Urban Transportation& Mobility | Ben Wolf

What happens when a street becomes a political battleground? In this episode, we speak with Ben Wolf, director of Changing Lanes, about the real-life story behind a controversial street redesign in Brooklyn and what it reveals about the future of cities. We explore the intersection of urban transportation, street design, community activism, public space, and politics. Ben shares insights into the filmmaking process, the power of civic engagement, and why decisions about roads, bike lanes, and mobility are ultimately decisions about the kind of cities we want to build. This conversation is a deep dive into how infrastructure shapes culture, how communities influence urban policy, and why the design of our streets matters more than ever.
