Description

Atlanta, Chicago, and New York have all transformed unused railroad lines into beautiful public parks. Philly has been trying to do a similar makeover with the Reading Viaduct for around 20 years. But so far, only a tiny stretch has been completed. Host Trenae Nuri speaks with Inga Saffron, architecture columnist at The Philadelphia Inquirer, about what’s derailing this project's progress.

City Cast Philly is the daily news podcast about the city you love (and maybe sometimes hate?) and the Philadelphians who are working hard every day to make this place better. Each weekday morning, host Trenae Nuri will chat with people all across Philly’s diverse neighborhoods about issues that matter to you. Whether that’s what do I even do on the weekends in this city with endless options, or how do I get the bus to actually stop, or how is this city going to keep our kids safe and educated? City Cast Philly is here for it all. It’s that energetic, informative conversation you might overhear at your neighborhood coffee shop. But with City Cast Philly, you’re always welcome to join in.
