Backroad Odyssey : Travel Stories, Van Life & Road Trip Oddities
The Savannah Story - America's First Urban Experiment
Today, we walk the oak-lined streets of Savannah, Georgia - often referred to as America’s first truly planned city.
Savannah’s many parks, measured plots of land, and deeply walkable nature aren’t just an exercise in alternative city planning - the real story of Savannah’s creation might surprise you.
The claim we’ll make today is this: Savannah, and Georgia itself to a degree, started as nothing less than a bold experiment challenging the way in which people should live.
Curious? Let’s hit the road!
