#18 Cities of Making

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. They discuss why manufacturing still has a – maybe surprising – place in urban centres, what it really takes to kick off a circular economy, and how shrinking cities that transfer their manufacturing skills base into new productive industries just may get the social and economic boost they need. Featuring: Adrian Hill The Cities of Making pattern language is available in full at citiesofmaking.com [https://citiesofmaking.com/]. It's also available to order as a printed 50 card set.

#17 Heart and 'Seoul': A River Revitalisation

How did Seoul turn a backed-up expressway into a tranquil urban stream? We take a look at the landmark Cheonggyecheon River Restoration project and ask why, almost 20 year later, this peaceful pocket in the middle of the city is still so beloved.   Featuring: Meggie Yu, Dr Soo Hong Noh

#16 Why Politics Needs Young People

Urban Future’s Cornelia Forsthuber-Aumayr talks to Maral Koohestanian – former Young Leader and now the youngest ever Deputy Mayor for the city of Wiesbaden, Germany – about everything from why we need more young people in politics to what inspires her to keep going in difficult times. Featuring: Cornelia Forsthuber-Aumayr, Maral Koohestanian
