The Planning Commission
Professional planners discussing planning things with planning people. Individuals who take their jobs seriously, but the planning industry experience a bit lightly. We examine the things that make planners cringe, laugh, and curse their industry. Expert opinions sprinkled with banter, hard realities and a little whiskey. It's a good time! Join us every week for a new conversation.

How to Make a City Healthier with Mick Cornett
How does a city change itself? First, it has to be honest and know where to start. Mick Cornett was very honest to the point of even telling Oklahoma City residents while he was Mayor that it was time to collectively lose weight. The initiatives, the projects, the policies, and the places that spured from making such a declaration transformed an auto oriented and sprawling American city, into a poster child of how to modernize, improve quality of life, and address the many needs of people to conduct happier and healthier lives. Mick Cornett is a wonderful example of a leader and we were proud to have him join our show.
