S8E12: Nikil Saval

Nikil Saval is a Pennsylvania state senator and the author of Cubed: A Secret History of the Workplace.

Until he won a seat representing much of Philadelphia, Saval supported himself as a freelance writer on architecture and design. He says his ideas about urban policy have been shaped by the Green New Deal, which

This is the so-called quality of life that we all are trying to protect?
