Description

The podcast episode compares the sustainability of city and country living, with a focus on infrastructure, transportation, land usage, and social aspects. While the countryside offers more space and a slower pace, cities are more sustainable due to better infrastructure, energy efficiency, and social services. Suburbs are criticized for combining the worst of both worlds, lacking essential amenities and contributing to urban sprawl.





Ian DeBay compares city and suburban living, arguing that cities are more sustainable due to their density and potential for reduced car usage. To reduce emissions, Ian DeBay suggests implementing renewable energy sources, energy-efficient buildings, and limiting car use in both cities and the countryside. We envision a future with only cities, towns, and villages, connected by high-speed trains and accessible by foot, bike, or public transportation.
