Urban Management: Soft to Hard

This lecture discusses the concept of managing urban spaces from simple to complex solutions, emphasizing the importance of starting with low-cost interventions such as clearing streets from obstacles before investing in expensive infrastructure like highways. By focusing on improving public spaces, enforcing traffic regulations, and optimizing transportation systems, cities can effectively address congestion issues. The instructor illustrates the gradual progression from minor adjustments to major infrastructure projects, highlighting the need for thoughtful urban planning and prioritizing cost-effective strategies over costly developments.
