Do cities need rules?
How does the way a city is run change its inhabitants' lives?
Have you ever thought that your city is too regulated? Or that the city you live in doesn鈥檛 do enough to police people who break the rules? In this episode, David Edmonds has been speaking to Michele Gelfand, a psychologist whose research on rule makers and rule breakers could change the way we think about our cities. We鈥檒l find out why you might be able to tell the time better in a city that's like Switzerland; why Japanese police officers reportedly egged people on to commit more crimes; and why living in a city like San Francisco could make you more creative.
Presented by David Edmonds.
