Perspective
From Singapore to D.C. to Lagos: Global Thinkers on Ideas That Died in 2018
Sam Adams, Sarah Deer, Stephen Goldsmith, Sarah Ichioka, Emeka Okereke, Rhonda Vonshay Sharpe, Katie Wells, and David Zipper weigh in.
In CityLab’s Perspective section contributors express new ideas, new takes on old ideas, and push us to think boldly about how life in cities can be better and more equitable for all. As 2018 drew to a close we asked our contributors and other thinkers what they saw as the notable “deaths” of 2018. We asked not for deaths of people (although some were noted) but ideas or concepts that died in 2018, and received responses on the topics of equity, transportation, environment, and life.
From varied cities and continents, these are the replies.
