Friday Roundtable: What does the city of the future look like?

When a lot of people (especially city-dwellers) think of suburbs, the first words that come to mind might be "white, bland and boring". But suburbs are more than that; they are becoming more diverse.

On this week's Friday Roundtable, MPR News host Kerri Miller talked with three people who think a lot about urban -- and suburban -- design. They talked about changing demographics, transit, the environment, and other factors driving change in urban areas.

Guests:

-- Eric Weiss, senior planner for the City of Shakopee

-- Maria Wardoku, planner for Alta Planning

-- C Terrence Anderson, equity manager for the Metropolitan Council
