Market Urbanism

Liberalizing cities | From the bottom up

“Market Urbanism” refers to the synthesis of classical liberal economics and ethics (market), with an appreciation of the urban way of life and its benefits to society (urbanism). We advocate for the emergence of bottom up solutions to urban issues, as opposed to ones imposed from the top down.

Market Urbanism Podcast

Over the next year, Nolan Gray will be talking to the scholars, writers, activists, and policymakers who are changing the conversation about cities. In biweekly conversations, a guest and Nolan will explore the past, present, and future of cities and the policies that shape them. If you’re totally new to the subject, fear not. He’ll begin conversations with the basics and clarify jargon as we move into a variety of fascinating, if complex, subjects. If you listen to the popular podcast Econtalk, you might have a general idea of what we’m going for.

 

Of course, this won’t just be a one-way conversation. Each week, Nolan will post links and articles related to the conversation on marketurbanism.com/podcast, where you can share your thoughts and give feedback on the show.

 

Send your questions, comments, and suggestions his way on Twitter at @mnolangray.
