Paris: "A City of Ideas"
Paris is a city built on ideas. These ideas coalesce into narratives, myths and stories that form a neural network of urban life. "A City of Ideas" explores these Ideas toward an understanding of how Paris developed as a modern city. This podcast series was created and narrated by Roger Mummert (rogermum@aol.com).
