This Building Is a Bucket with Ben Schneider
Podcast: Nothing But RespectRating: Explicit Published On: Mon Sep 22 2025
Description: We are joined by author, urbanist, and certified bucket Ben Schneider to talk about stadiums from an urbanist perspective. We discuss how stadiums play a role in what Mike Davis once dubbed “the infinite game” of metropolitan development projects. We also get into why Urbanist Twitter and NBA Twitter feel strangely similar, why basketball stadiums tend to work better for cities than football stadiums, and whether Steph Curry is secretly the youngest NIMBY alive.LINKSPre-order Ben's book, The Unfinished Metropolis: Igniting the City-Building RevolutionChris Thompson's recent piece for Defector about the terrible DC stadium dealFollow Ben on TwitterFollow harry on Twitter, IGFollow Patrick on Twitter, BlueskySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
