Following a recommendation by 99% Invisible I’m now listening to The Big Dig. It’s about car politics in Boston and state decision making and great project planning, I think. I listened to the first episode which is about protesters organizing, something I feel sadly unknowledgeable in. It was also good to hear a Republican concede an error and stop the highway construction plans at the time.

I should find such podcast about local issues here in Switzerland, now that I think about it. Like how we got the New Railway Link through the Alps.
“The total projected cost of the project was CHF 12.189 billion at its 1998 start; in December 2015, its final cost was projected to be CHF 17.900 billion.”
