- Science
Inclusive recovery, inclusive growth, diversity and inclusion are some of the key light motives cities, organisations and businesses across the globe aspire to in recovering from the Covidー19 crisis as well as addressing equity challenges that existed well before the pandemic. But what does it mean to be inclusive? For whom and where? How to achieve inclusion while addressing seemingly insurmountable challenges of transforming urban futures? Let’s be honest the term inclusion is conceptually complex but methodologically and politically underdeveloped. Therefore, exploring the meaning of inclusion and openly discussing the methods to achieve it is the most urgent debate and challenge of our age. Inclusive Urban Futures podcast and video series that provides a creative space for this debate. It brings together renewed leaders, experts, and practitioners in a mission to ignite creative discussions and explore emerging questions on what inclusion means and what inclusive future of cities can be across geographies and disciplines. In the first series, you will hear from leaders in India, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Philippines, Ireland, the United Kingdom and Singapore. We explore inclusion from many angles including building and city design, planning, cohesion and territorial development, wildlife and biodiversity, building energy, social affairs as well as the all-important world of work. The Inclusive Urban Futures podcast and video series will feature two leaders, two conversations per month and will drop every second Tuesday.

INCLUSIVE URBAN FUTURES - Interview with Sena Segbedzi
Ideas and policies are as good as their implementation. There may not be a policy sphere where this is truer than in the cities' pursuits of inclusive urban futures.
