S07:E02, “Infrastructure” Edition, with Henry Petroski (video)

Posted by jnshaumeyer on April 8, 2016

Streamed live on 6 April 2016.

Roads! Bridges! Curbs! Guard rails! Speed humps! Stop signs, too! Infrastructure is everywhere, including the news lately, because American infrastructure is getting old and decrepit. Today’s guest was noted author about all things engineering, Henry Petroski. We talked about taking up the challenges of renewing our infrastructure, and his book on the same topic, The Road Taken : The History and Future of America’s Infrastructure.

If you want to know the answer to the question, “In what year were stop signs ruled illegal by courts in Illinois”, have a listen.
