Urban Futures: In Conversation with James Howard Kunstler
In this episode of ON CITIES, host Carie Penabad embarks on a conversation with best-selling author and social critic, James Howard Kunstler. Kunstler’s global recognition is grounded in his unapologetic scrutiny of modern American society, particularly within the realms of urban planning, architecture, energy and sustainability. A steadfast critic of suburban sprawl and unchecked urban expansion, Kunstler presents an alternative vision for the future — one that hinges on a return to local communities through the revitalization of small towns and cities. He underlines the urgency of confronting critical issues like peak oil and climate change, urging society to brace itself for a post-fossil fuel era. Tune in Friday, October 13, 2023 at 11:00 AM EST, 8:00 AM PST, exclusively on the VoiceAmerica Variety Channel https://www.voiceamerica.com/show/4119/on-cities. This episode promises to be a thought-provoking exploration on the structure of contemporary society and the future of our cities. Do not miss the conversation!
James Howard Kunstler said, “We have created thousands and thousands of places in America that aren’t worth caring about, and when we have enough of them, we’re going to have a country that’s not worth defending.”
About James Howard Kunstler
Kunstler is an American author, social critic, public speaker, and blogger. He has written over a dozen books; but is best known for The Geography of Nowhere (1994), a history of American suburbia and urban development, The Long Emergency: Surviving the Converging Catastrophes of the 21st Century (2005), and Too Much Magic: Wishful Thinking, Technology and the Fate of the Nation (2012). In the Long Emergency he imagines peak oil and oil depletion resulting in the end of industrialized society, forcing Americans to live in smaller-scale, localized, agrarian (or semi-agrarian) communities. In world Made by Hand, he branches into a speculative fiction depiction of this future world.
He is also the author of numerous novels including: The Halloween Ball and The Witch of Hebron: A World Made by Hand (Novel Series). He has been a regular contributor to the New York Times Sunday Magazine and Op-Ed page, where he has written on environmental and economic issues.
Mr. Kunstler was born in New York City in 1948. He moved to the Long Island suburbs in 1954 and returned to the city in 1957 where he spent most of his childhood. He graduated from the State University of New York, Brockport campus, worked as a reporter and feature writer for several newspapers, and finally as a staff writer for Rolling Sone Magazine. In 1975, he dropped out to write books on a full-time basis. He has no formal training in architecture or the related design fields.
He has lectured at Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Princeton, MIT, Cornell, MIT, and many other colleges; and he has appeared before many professional organizations such as the AIA, the APA, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
He lives in Washington County, upstate New York.

Great discussion on urban futures with James Howard Kunstler. His insights on the challenges of modern cities really resonate. One key point to consider is how urban planning can be reshaped to address sustainability, which ties into the growing importance of accessibility in urban design. For anyone interested in exploring this more, the idea of a slope unblocked creating spaces that are inclusive and efficient could be an important concept moving forward.
