Streetfilms’ Robin Urban Smith hopped a bus to Boston to hear world renowned urban strategist and champion of the livable streets movement, Enrique Peñalosa speak at the Boston Public Library. According to our friends at the LivableStreets Alliance, who organized his four day visit, more than 1,000 Bostonians attended the various events planned in his name.

Aptly nicknamed the “The Hub,” or “The Walking City,” Boston boasts the oldest subway system in North America and has the highest light rail ridership of any U.S. city.
