Featuring Majora Carter, an urban revitalization strategist and real estate developer from the South Bronx, and covering the third section of Part 6, chapters 35-38.
This is the 99% invisible breakdown of the Power Broker.
I'm Roman Mars.
And I'm Eliot Kalin.
So today we're still in part six, the Lust for Power.
We're covering four chapters, 35 through 38.
That's pages 807 through 894.
And later in this episode, our special guest is Majora Carter.
Majora is a neighborhood developer from the South Bronx.
Growing up, she always viewed her neighborhood as a place where she had to leave to find success.
But as she got older, she became more involved.
She began undoing some of Moses legacy and she became a champion for bettering neighborhoods like the South Bronx so that they are places where people want to remain even when they have been ruined by a tyrant.
Before we get started with one of my favorite chapters in one of my favorite books.
So it's going to be great.
We did want to talk about something that we teased last month.
Our very special live event with Robert Caro.
Roman me, Robert Caro on stage, reunited for the first time at the New York Historical Society.
I'm so excited about it.
It's going to be great.
But when the tickets went on sale, they sold out almost immediately, which made us very proud.
But we know was disappointing for a lot of you who did not get a chance to buy tickets.
