Summary
Are DIY urban projects the key to improving the infrastructure in Nashville — and beyond? The grassroots group To Nashville, With Love has built and installed 60 benches at bus stops around the city, all without government approval. City Cast CEO David Plotz talks with City Cast Nashville host Marie Cecile Anderson about what this guerrilla campaign is doing, why it’s gotten pushback from the city, and where Nashville’s Tactical Urbanism program fits into all this. Plus, the unique challenges of Nashville tourism. Mentioned on the show: "Who Put Benches at Nashville Bus Stops — and Why Did the City Remove Them?"
