Join us on this week’s Real Finds Podcast as we dive into the world of urbanism with Brad Biehl. Urbanism isn’t just about government policies or academic theories; it’s about understanding how individuals interact with their surroundings—a vital concept for real estate entrepreneurs looking to build and maintain profitable developments.
In this episode, Brad sheds light on how urbanism goes beyond big cities and dense environments. It’s about creating walkable neighborhoods, improving transportation options, and fostering vibrant communities. Discover how removing parking and encouraging walkable areas can attract more customers and boost economic activity for local businesses.
We also delve into the debate between buses and light rail, exploring the costs, infrastructure needs, and community preferences. Brad discusses the importance of livable design and the financial and health benefits of alternative transportation options. He also tackles the challenges of NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) attitudes and shares strategies for creating more walkable and transit-friendly communities.
