The Human Scale is a gorgeous film about the ways in which the organization of our infrastructure shapes our lives.  Much of the last 50 years has seen cities organized around cars, with tragic consequences for common spaces and face-to-face human interaction.    The human scale documents some of the best efforts at bringing cities back to life as places for human, not automotive, interaction.

I am honored to get to introduce the film and, following the showing,  moderate a panel discussion with notable figures from the mayor’s office of community development,  the mayor’s office Bicycle/Pedestrian Coordinator,  and Bike Pittsburgh.

The Human Scale shows at the Harris Theater downtown,  809 Liberty Avenue,  on Thursday November 13th at 7:00 pm.  Panel Discussion to follow.   Tickets are $9, and can be bought online or in person.
