Lecture: “The Lost Subways of North America”
Speaker: Historian Jake Berman
Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking evening as historian and cartographer Jake Berman takes us on a journey through the history and challenges of mass transit in North America.
Every driver in North America shares one miserable, soul-sucking universal experience—being stuck in traffic. But things weren’t always like this. Why is it that the mass transit systems of most cities in the United States and Canada are now utterly inadequate? Historian Jake Berman offers a new way to consider this eternal question, with a strikingly visual—and fun—journey through past, present, and unbuilt urban transit, featuring his celebrated transit maps.
Jake Berman, a New York City-based author of “The Lost Subways of North America” is fascinated by how data visualizations—like maps—shape the way we perceive the world. His work has been featured in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Guardian, and Vice, earning acclaim for his unique ability to blend history and design.
