Songs

• Fiscalization of Land Use by David Schecter
  "Fiscalization of Land Use" is a funny song about a serious subject -- the widespread practice of cash-strapped city governments making land use decisions based on fiscal criteria instead of good planning principles. The song was written by David Schecter, and he performed it at the 2006 TALC Summit.

• Big BART Blue by Bob Franklin
  This 2-minute music video offers a light-hearted tribute to BART.

Enrique Peñalosa

• Interview with Enrique Peñalosa by NYC Streets Renaissance
  This 12-minute video will inspire you! It shows what happens when a city creates wonderful spaces for pedestrians. Enrique Peñalosa, distinguished former Mayor of Bogotá, Columbia, created hundreds of pedestrian-only streets, parks, plazas, and bike paths, and constructed the longest pedestrian-only street in the world, plus a bus system that carries 700,000 people a day at a cost of only $300 million.
