Must successful cities now be "cities of ideas"? That's a question Bill Bishop has been exploring for the past year in the pages of the Austin American-Statesman. With a team of demographers, economists and other urban experts, he's unpacked the power of ideas and creativity on cities, how they contribute to their success, and how the quality of life that has been so tied to the success of cities of ideas is now threatened by that success. Smart City airs Sunday at 9 a.m. central on the WKNO Stations, 91.1 FM and again Tuesday at 9 a.m. on 88.9 FM. Or you can hear the show on WKNO's live Web streaming.
