Listen as Larry spoke with Uri Avin, a research professor at the University of Maryland’s National Center For Smart Growth Research and Education, regarding the future of the Washington, D.C., Baltimore area.

Here’s how researchers think the Washington-Baltimore region could look in 20 years

Curious about what the Washington-Baltimore region might look like in 20 years? Researchers at the University of Maryland say they’ve found a new way to predict how much traffic congestion will worsen, where people will live, and what they’ll pay for housing.

The future, they say, lies in how quickly — and how much — residents begin using autonomous vehicles, whether gas prices rise or fall, and where governments allow growth to occur.
