At a work session last month, Athens-Clarke County Commissioners heard a https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65TU16z3yf0?t=4042">presentation on hostile architecture. But what is hostile architecture, how do you spot it in the wild, and what should lawmakers do about it?

ANM's Chris Shupe spoke to Katherine Melcher from the University of Georgia's College of Environment and Design about hostile architecture.

Chris Shupe was the Program Director of WUGA from 2014-2022. Shupe may be best known as The Athens King, a tribute to Elvis Presley, which often included an 8 piece show band! After two years as a part-time announcer, Chris Shupe joined WUGA full time as the station’s Morning Edition Host and Assistant Operations Director. He was later promoted to PD in 2014.
