Betty Smoot-Madison, the deputy commissioner over Strategy and Planning with the City of Atlanta Department of Transportation, and Romy Maloon, a project manager, and the lead for the city's Atlanta Streets Alive, discuss the relaunching of Atlanta Streets Alive and plans to expand it in years to come.

 

Plus, Vincent Bevins, an award-winning journalist and writer, discusses his new book, “If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution,” which explores why decades-long protests have not produced a revolution or any significant structural reform.
