Ray Delahanty is an unlikely star of YouTube videos. An urban planner and former traffic engineer, he has the opposite of charisma, delivering insights about cities with data and a shrug, which has endeared him to urbanists everywhere. You can find his entire video library here. For a taste of Delahanty’s work, try the link below. It’s a video titled “Top 10 U.S. Cities That Are Becoming More City-Like.” Number three is, he says, “a place that will fill you with more optimism about the future of U.S. cities than just about anywhere else.” Surprise: It’s Atlanta.
