"City of Tomorrow" RSxEAB

About this episode

The episode explores visions for the future of urban living, discussing inclusive design, mobility, and nature integration.

In this episode RSxEAB of Radio Spaetkauf (our spinoff series recorded in collaboration with the Europäische Akademie Berlin )we focus on the future of urban living; asking the question, "What is the city of tomorrow?". Host Daniel Stern is joined by architect Max Schwitalla and author Aiki Mira . The conversation begins with Max sharing how skateboarding background influenced his urban design approach, and with Mira reading a passage from their award-winning novel "Neurobiest" describing Berlin of the future topped by green rooftop communities. From there we discuss visions for the future: inclusive, polycentric urban design, mobility hubs, and discarding anthropocentricism to leave space for nature. The exploration of "The City of Tommorow" brings us to innovations (both real and imagined), micro-utopias, and proposals for infrastructure which is reusable, queer and adaptable.
