About this episode

Nish Kumar reflects on the energies of great cities and imagines a more optimistic future for urban living.

For the final episode of Dream Space season three, we leave nature behind for a chaotic, futuristic city from the mind of comedian Nish Kumar .   Guided by host Gemma Cairney , Nish reflects on the energies of the world’s great cities from his home of London to Mumbai to Melbourne. Enter a Dream Space where Manhattan skyscrapers meet Parisian boulevards in a series of contrasting neighbourhoods. Communities live alongside one another in cheap, floating housing with 100% renewable energy and flying wind turbines.   Covering everything from the importance of grassroots venues to the dangers of AI, Nish asks us to imagine a more optimistic version of our present cities.  Nish Kumar is a comedian, broadcaster and podcast host known for his social and political commentary.
