    Buenos Aires: The Choreography of the Sidewalk

    In this episode, we hear from longtime WRLDCTY friend and Global Fellow Emiliano Espasandin about the "perfectly imperfect" nature of Buenos Aires, a city with a sidewalk-level culture of cafes, retail, food, dance, and community that shows how powerful a city's intangibles can be. In Emiliano's words, the lack of "asking permission" and the belief that anything is possible is what makes Buenos Aires a city we can all learn from in this era of social isolation in cities around the world.

    Medellín: The Long Game of Urban Transformation

    This episode explores Medellín beyond the familiar “miracle city” narrative. Through the perspective of Alejandro Echeverri, who was a driving force behind many of the city’s foundational projects, we examine the deeper ambitions and tensions behind Medellín’s transformation: dignity, trust, equity, mobility, public investment, and the long-term evolution of social urbanism.

    What Ukraine is Teaching Us About Collective Care and Planning

    We are honoured to feature Fulco Treffers, co-founder, Ro3kvit as our guest in this week’s podcast. For many outside Ukraine, the country's cities exist largely through headlines. Yet speaking with Fulco, a different picture emerged. Across Ukraine, questions of identity have moved from the margins to the centre of civic life.  Cultural institutions are re-examining history.  Communities are rediscovering traditions and stories that had long been overshadowed or forgotten.  The conversation is not nostalgic. It is practical. If a society is being asked what it is willing to protect, it must first understand what it is - and what it values.

    Singapore After Dark: Why Letting Loose is Key to a Healthy City

    There are few cities more admired by urbanists than Singapore. Yet for all the attention paid to its infrastructure and institutions, there is another story unfolding in Singapore: one that is becoming increasingly relevant to cities everywhere. It is a story about what happens after dark. WRLDCTY welcomes our first guest in this new series where we explore world cities through the lens of one one-the-ground force for innovation. Meet Danny Loong, CEO and co-founder of Timbre Group and President of the Singapore Nightlife Business Association. This episode's conversation begins with a simple observation: perhaps we have been asking the wrong questions about nightlife. Loong argues that cities should think less about "nightlife" and more about "nighttime." The distinction is subtle but important. Take a listen.
