✊🏙 Happy Holidays! 5 urbanist podcasts for the new year 🎄🎆

By Radical Urbanist • Issue #14 • View online

Hey urbanists!

🎄 Merry Christmas to those celebrating and happy holidays to all!

With the news cycle slowing (somewhat) for the holidays, I thought that instead of the usual look at urbanist issues from the past week, that this issue would list some of the city-focused podcasts that I’ve loved listening to in 2017.

If your favourites aren’t on the list, please reach out to me on Twitter with your suggestions.

Invisible City - Jennifer Keesmat

New episodes of this podcast from Toronto’s former chief planner don’t come often, but they’re worth a listen when they do. Delving into the big issues facing major cities and their residents, there’s a lot of insight to find here. I particularly recommend episode 13 on transit with Jarrett Walker and episode 9 about condo living with a family and young kids.

There Goes the Neighborhood - WNYC Studios

Gentrification is front and centre in There Goes the Neighborhood. Each season focuses on how new money is altering communities and residents are being displaced in different cities. So far seasons on New York and Los Angeles have been released, and I look forward to whichever comes next.

Talking Headways - Streetsblog USA

There’s a lot to like about Streetsblog USA’s Talking Headways podcast. There are a wide range of urbanist topics discussed with people who know what they’re talking about. A recent episode I liked was 154, which looked at land value capture as a tool for transit development, and someone from Hong Kong’s public transit agency was there to give their experience.

The Urbanist - Monocle

The real value of Monocle’s The Urbanist podcast is the global perspective it gives its listeners. Each of the main shows tends to have segments looking at a few different cities, both in developed and developing countries.

Skylines - CityMetric

Skylines provides a British perspective on urban issues, and while it does look specifically at what’s going on in the UK, there’s still plenty of discussion about happenings in the rest of the world.
