The Big Ugly Truth of American VS German Streets

@typeashtonAbout
Hi, Iβm Dr. Ashton Schottler. A former teacher and architectural historian with a PhD in Human Geographyβ¦. You can say, I like studying communities and I do that by examining how humans across the globe have shaped them. And as someone who has lived, studied and worked in both the United States and in Germany, I especially love the juxtaposition of life that manifests itself from one country to another. From macro-economics down to micro-urbanism, I explore and explain the political economics, society, and culture that shapes the world around youβ¦. And I share all of this through my personal lens of an immigrant navigating that world with you. Uncovering the storytelling behind the data, I hope to keep these topics accessible, easy to understand, and interestingβ¦ I hope you will be entertained, and maybe learn something along the way. Do you have a question worth diving into? Well, Type Ashton and letβs find out together.
