Issue 06: Technology and cities
October 2004
Our sixth issue features compelling focuses on the way modern technologies are influencing cities, their suburbs, and how people are incorporating them. How are commutes changing? Are innovations to roads and toll plazas worth their price? Will there even be commuters a century from now? Modern Atlanta neighborhoods are compared to their past and will an “Eastern” Upper East Side be New York’s newest downtown? Interviews with Rich Richman and the Yin Yang twins are also included.
