What is the price of modern rootlessness? Is it possible to sustain community and local memory in an age when place seems to matter so little? In this Anthology, essays by Gina Bria, Wendell Berry, and Gilbert Meilaender, and the fiction of Bosnian novelist Ivo Andric explore the important ways in which we (and the communities we inhabit) are shaped and sustained by the particular places in which we live.

In this Anthology, Ken Myers interviews seven guests — architects, geographers, and historians and clergy — about the nature of good urban environments, about how loving our neighbors can and must take shape in how we order the material aspects of shared life. The conversations on this Anthology give particular attention to how the New Urbanist movement has challenged the dehumanizing effects of modernism in urban design.

This feature is available to listeners with a Mars Hill Audio membership.
