Urban Future’s Karl Dickinson is in conversation with Adrian Hill, a social designer and lead researcher for the Cities of Making project, talking about the nature of production in the post-industrial city.

21:40

How did Seoul turn a backed-up expressway into a tranquil urban stream?

#13 Cake, Brew and Mend 13:05

9M ago13:05

We visit a repair café in Graz, Austria, to understand what it means to give an item a …

After centuries in charge, men have made a mess of our cities! Gender bias is present in almost every element of urban planning and design, from mobility networks right down to the way we build houses. So what does it take to dislodge gendered microaggressions from the built environment? How can we reimagine municipal processes so that women are fa…

Moving an entire city? It’s not science fiction.
