Unbook Club: Why Nothing Works
Advertisement
Why is it so difficult to get good things done—even when we agree we need them?
Join BikeWalkMHK’s Unbook Club for a casual conversation inspired by Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress—and How to Bring It Back by Marc J. Dunkelman. The book explores how efforts to prevent abuses of power have also made it harder to build housing, improve infrastructure, and deliver public projects.
We’ll bring the conversation home to Manhattan:
What stands in the way of safer streets, better bike connections, and more housing?
How do we balance meaningful public input with the ability to move forward?
What can we do together to turn good ideas into real improvements?
Friday, December 4 | 7:00 PM

As always, reading is optional. Read the book, skim a few chapters, listen to an interview, or simply come with your experiences and curiosity. No homework, no pressure—just good conversation about our community.
Everyone is welcome. We hope to see y’all there!
