The social life of public (transit) spaces

As Karen Christensen prepares to head to China - first speaking about how civilizations learn from one another, and then exploring third places in Shanghai - she and Matt Silber discuss the social life of public transit. They draw from experiences in different countries and times, and explore how train travel is both a chance to interact with strangers and, sometimes, a way to develop the warm bonds with regular acquaintances that typify a third place.
