Video Description

Subscribe to Nebula and get $20 off at: https://go.nebula.tv/citybeautiful Watch this video on Nebula: https://nebula.tv/videos/citybeautiful-are-the-suburbs-getting-worse Cul-de-sacs, loops, and separated subdivisions make it difficult for people to walk and bike in the suburbs. We've known this for decades. Have we improved our suburban street patterns in recent decades? I conducted a study to find out! I published the study in the Journal of Urban Morphology: https://journal.urbanform.org/index.php/jum/article/view/7826 Produced by Dave Amos and the fine folks at Nebula Studios.
