episode POWER: Planning for the People artwork

POWER: Planning for the People

TVA planners sought to unify the engineering innovations of dam construction with progressive ideas of public access and romantic notions of outdoor scenery. On this episode, we talk with Avigail Sachs, author of the book The Garden in the Machine: Planning and Democracy in the Tennessee Valley Authority. In this episode we talk about how the New Deal influenced the architecture and planning professions, the role of the public in TVA planning, and the relationship between the built environment and ideals of pastoral landscapes. NO TIME FOR FEAR is created and hosted by Eira Tansey of Memory Rising, an archival consulting company.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
