Raleigh native Smedes York has witnessed and facilitated decades of growth in his hometown.
His father developed the iconic Cameron Village in the late 1940s, and he tackled the redevelopment of downtown during his time as mayor from 1979 to 1983.
His memoir, Growing up with Raleigh (Lulu Publishing/2014), documents a life of business, politics and urban planning in North Carolina's capital city.
Host Frank Stasio talks with Smedes York and historian John Sharpe about Growing Up With Raleigh.
