Discussion and Luncheon presented by Transportation Research Forum. The topic for discussion will be Cars vs. Bikes
Guest speaker: Emily Badger, Staff Reporter, Washington Post
At The Washington Post, Ms. Badger covers national urban policy for Wonkblog, the paper's public policy vertical. She writes frequently about urban planning, housing, transportation, poverty and inequality -- and why each is intimately connected to the others. She's particularly interested in how technology will change the way we move around cities, why the design of cities matters for the economic mobility for the people who live there, and what it will mean for all of us to live in an increasingly urban world. Before joining the Post, she was a staff writer at The Atlantic Cities. She has also written for Fast Company, GOOD, Pacific Standard, The New York Times, and the Christian Science Monitor, among other publications. She has a journalism degree from Northwestern University and a Master's in writing from Johns Hopkins University. She's originally from Chicago, a place that has heavily influenced her thinking about cities.
