About this listen

Grounded Greatness argues that the future of urban mobility lies not in expensive tunnels or elitist air taxis, but in smart, surface-level public transit. Buses, trains, and last-mile solutions—when digitally integrated—offer the most scalable, equitable, and sustainable way to move people in dense cities.

Drawing on global case studies from Bogotá to Shenzhen, the book shows how data, AI, unified payments, and people-first design can dramatically improve access and efficiency. It makes the case for reclaiming streets as civic spaces, promoting mobility justice, and shifting investment toward systems that serve everyone—not just the wealthy.

With policy toolkits, planning frameworks, and civic action strategies, Grounded Greatness is both a manifesto and a manual for transforming how cities move—by staying grounded.
