Did you know street addresses are a fairly recent invention that has shaped our cities and taken on great political importance?
Roman Mars, host of social design podcast 99% Invisible, talks with Deirdre Mask, the author of The Address Book: What Street Addresses Reveal About Identity, Race, Wealth, and Power, which looks at all the ways the world has changed since the popularization of street addresses during the Enlightenment. The book examines how addresses impact wealth and poverty, and how they serve as proxies for our most contentious debates. Mask also explores a digital future where we aren’t reliant on the numbers on our homes to tell us where we are or where we’re going.
This 30-minute podcast episode will provide you with a taste of what Mask’s book uncovers. Peak your interest and want to know even more? Swing by the library or fill out a request for The Address Book: What Street Addresses Reveal About Identity, Race, Wealth, and Power. We’ve got you covered!
