This informative and delightful video is well worth three minutes of your time. In it, @annakode.bsky.social, a @nytimes.com reporter, "explains how some of the urban design principles outlined in the book show up throughout the show" (Sesame Street).

Cannot recall the last time I watched Sesame Street, but love this NYT video with @annakode.bsky.social! youtube.com/shorts/e3BZd...

Smart look at public space by @annakode.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/n...

love this new york times clip. they recently did a story about how sesame street's set has changed over the years, along with our urban politics. IG nytimes

The photos above are from this wonderful article about the show's set design and how it evolved over the years with our politics. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/r...

It's funny to think that my preference for urban living in areas with dense, mixed-used, walkable neighborhoods, multi-family housing, small businesses, and diversity probably stems from Sesame Street. Like an early education in Jane Jacob's urbanist theories.
