Architecture critic and Pulitzer Prize winner Mark Lamster joins The Hidden City to talk about his book, Welcome to Paradox City, and what Dallas’s buildings reveal about the people and decisions that shaped it. From the debate over Dallas City Hall to the character of Jefferson Boulevard, we explore why Dallas is so quick to tear down the old and build something new, and what gets lost along the way.
We also talk about the changes in Bishop Arts, the hidden places worth discovering on foot, and why caring for our neighborhoods starts with everyday things like sidewalks, trees, and paying attention to what’s already here.
