The City Show is a documentary-style podcast by Cityscapes Studio in collaboration with the African Centre for Cities.

Each episode, examines how cities are evolving from the perspective of activists, policymakers, researchers, and everyday residents in those regions. It is a collaboration between Cityscapes Studio and African Centre for Cities.

Who owns the future?

In this final episode of The City Show: An Unstoppable Force, we look ahead to Africa's urban future. With cities growing faster than anywhere else on Earth, the question is: what kind of urban world are we building—and for whom? Data expert George Kibala-Bauer explains why access to data will determine how cities plan and adapt. Futurist Geci Karuri-Sebina argues for innovation rooted in local realities, not imported tech models. In Dakar, architect Nzinga Biegueng Mboup shows how low-tech, locally sourced materials can redefine sustainable design. And from Harare, activist Namatai Kwekweza reminds us that Africa's young majority must have a real voice in shaping what's next. Together, they sketch out a future where technology, tradition, and youth energy could finally align to shape cities that reflect and belong to the people who live in them.

Life in Full Colour

In this episode of The City Show, we hit the streets to see how people are shaping everyday life in three very different African cities. In Nairobi's Mathare, community organiser Gathanga Ndungu and a network of women activists are fighting for safety, dignity, and justice in one of the city's oldest and most neglected neighbourhoods. In Lusaka, Mildred Musonda Nkole's roadside café shows how small-scale entrepreneurship keeps cities fed and communities connected even amid power cuts and economic strain. And in Cairo, heritage expert May al-Ibrashy and the women of Athar Lina reveal how preserving old buildings is also about protecting stories, livelihoods, and identity. Together, their stories capture the energy, resilience, and reinvention driving cities across Africa.

The Inheritance

When African countries gained independence, most cities still looked like the ones the colonisers left behind—European-style centers for the privileged, surrounded by neglected areas for everyone else. Instead of breaking that pattern, post-independence governments mostly ended up reinforcing it. Disentangling cities across Africa from that legacy remains one of the continent's biggest challenges, with governments still struggling to fund or design policies that truly shift the course. The first episode of The City Show's third season unpacks why this persists, and the new momentum that is becoming a common feature of life in cities across the continent. We speak to South African urbanist Edgar Pieterse, Ghanaian analyst Bright Simons, Kenyan anthropologist Wangui Kimari, and Gambian mayor Talib Ahmed Bensouda.

Trailer: Season 3

Season Three of The City Show, titled An Unstoppable Force, focuses entirely on Africa. It traces how the continent's cities came to be what they are today, how people are navigating the often harsh reality of life in them, and what the future might hold as urbanisation accelerates at record speed. It's about the places and systems we have now, those we aspire towards, and how we might get there. Guests include architect Nzinga Mboup in Dakar; human rights lawyer and activist Namatai Kwekweza in Harare; urbanist Edgar Pieterse in Cape Town; mayor of Kanifing, Gambia, Talib Ahmed Bensouda; the proprietor of a Matebeto (a streetside food tavern in Lusaka) Mildred Musonda Nkole; Kenyan community organiser Gathanga Ndungu; futurist Geci Karuri Sebina in Johannesburg; data expert George Kibala-Bauer in London, and Cairo-based conservation architect and activist May al-Ibrashy, among others. It's presented by Tau Tavengwa and produced by Penny Dale. Our researcher and fact-checker is Julia Hope. Season Three of The City Show, subtitled: An Unstoppable Force, accompanies a publication of the same title produced as part of the Urban2063 coalition's campaign, launched as an initiative of 15 organisations across Africa and globally. These organisations have come together to advocate for a wider recognition of the centrality of cities in Africa's transformation and future. It's supported by Development Bank of Southern Africa, Africa Climate Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies and Ford Foundation.
