The Truth Behind Dallas's Biggest Mistake

Beneath the streets of downtown Dallas lies a hidden three-mile network of tunnels most residents have never set foot in. Built in 1969 by the same urban planner behind Montreal's underground city, the Dallas Pedestrian Network was supposed to be the future a climate controlled escape from Texas heat. Instead, it's been blamed for decades as "the worst urban planning decision Dallas ever made." In this video, I explore the tunnels in person and break down the real history: why they were built, the popular myth about what killed downtown Dallas in the 90s, the economic collapse that actually caused it, and why no business down here can survive the way one at street level can. A failed utopia, hiding in plain sight beneath one of the biggest cities in Texas.
