The Municipal Art Society and the WNYC Archives have joined forces on a new project where we'll be digitizing their 1970s radio show The Liveable City and pushing them to the web as articles. Stay tuned. Special thanks to Robert Libbey, Meaghan Baron and Alex Engel at the MAS for making it possible, and to archivist Sam Markham for shepherding the project along.
