On Saturday, Feb. 4, 2023 we welcomed back former Civitas intern, Gabe Lepak. He happily led a presentation on urbanism that covered a lot of ground including the history of streetcars in St. Louis, to how zoning relates to housing and parking, and a ton more. Below is a copy of his presentation, a list of recommended books, and some interesting videos.
