| 5/4/26 | 425R_The Energy Foundation – Why Affordable, Reliable Energy Is the Key to Jobs, Cost of Living, and Resilience (book summary) | Are you interested in why energy is the foundation of all opportunities and challenges? Our debate today works with the book titled The Energy Foundation – Why Affordable, Reliable Energy Is the Key to Jobs, Cost of Living, and Resilience from 2026, by AJ Perkins with yours truly, Fanni Melles. This is a great preparation to our next interview with AJ Perkins in episode 426 talking about why energy is the foundation of every challenge and opportunity. The book is currently still in development so the published version will be available later in the year. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see why high utility costs act as a compounding tax that inflates the price of all goods and services. This book presents the SOUND energy foundation that creates true resilience for communities and businesses with margins to absorb shocks and disasters.Find the book through this link (updated when the book is published).Connecting episodes you might be interested in:No.349R - Superabundant Energy What will we do with it?No.350 - Panel conversation about the urban energy matrixNo.410 - Interview with Casey Handmer about the need for abundant energyYou can find the transcript through this linkWhat was the most interesting part for you?

| 4/27/26 | 423R_Scaling the superblock model to city level in Barcelona? Learning from recent policy impact evaluations | Are you interested in how removing traffic affects urban areas? Our debate today works with the article titled Scaling the superblock model to city level in Barcelona? Learning from recent policy impact evaluations from 2022, by Jaime Benavides, Sabah Usmani, and Marianthi-Anna Kioumourtzoglou, published in the Contesti journal. This is a great preparation to our next interview with Ben Wolf in episode 424 talking about one street in New York that reduced its car traffic and its effects on its environment.Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see an urban model that curtails vehicle traffic and reclaims public space for pedestrians and greenery. This article investigates Barcelona’s Superblock model with its complex outcomes, suggesting that neighbourhood level policies must be paired with a holistic metropolitan mobility plan for traffic to be effectively reduced city-wide.Find the article through this link.Connecting episodes you might be interested in:No.216 - Interview with Sara Stace about the needed urban paradigm shift in transport planningNo.395R - Car free citiesNo.396 - Interview with Lior Steinberg about car free citiesYou can find the transcript through this linkWhat was the most interesting part for you?

| 4/20/26 | 421R_The origins of scaling in cities | Are you interested in the connection between urban evolution and their population size? Debate of the article titled The origins of scaling in cities from 2023, by Louis M. A. Bettencourt, published in the Science journal.This is a great preparation to our next interview with Greg Lindsay in episode 422 talking about the city as an engine for creative collisions. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see the scaling relations of urban areas. This article suggests that urban efficiency can be measured by balancing the benefits of social interactions against the energy costs of moving people and information.Find the article through this link.Abstract: Despite the increasing importance of cities in human societies, our ability to understand them scientifically and manage them in practice has remained limited. The greatest difficulties to any scientific approach to cities have resulted from their many interdependent facets, as social, economic, infrastructural, and spatial complex systems that exist in similar but changing forms over a huge range of scales. Here, I show how all cities may evolve according to a small set of basic principles that operate locally. A theoretical framework was developed to predict the average social, spatial, and infrastructural properties of cities as a set of scaling relations that apply to all urban systems. Confirmation of these predictions was observed for thousands of cities worldwide, from many urban systems at different levels of development. Measures of urban efficiency, capturing the balance between socioeconomic outputs and infrastructural costs, were shown to be independent of city size and might be a useful means to evaluate urban planning strategies.Connecting episodes you might be interested in:No.409R - The case for economic growth as the path to better human wellbeingNo.410 - Interview with Casey Handmer about the need for economic growthNo.419R - Green growth or degrowth?No.420 - Interview with Josh Dorfman about green growth You can find the transcript through this linkWhat was the most interesting part for you?

| 4/13/26 | 419R_Green growth or degrowth? Possible outcomes for climate and society | Are you interested in the possibility of green growth instead of degrowth for better urban futures? Debate of the article titled Green growth or degrowth? Possible outcomes for climate and society from 2025, by Phoenix Eskridge-Aldama, Aden Stern, Anna Vaughn, and Diana Stuart, published in the Highlights of Sustainability journal.This is a great preparation to our next interview with Josh Dorfman in episode 420 talking about the need for people’s need to be open to the idea of green growth. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see whether we can talk about growth with green solutions for the better future instead of the degrowth idea. This article investigates the ongoing debate between green growth and degrowth as competing strategies for addressing the climate crisis and enhance wellbeing.Find the article through this link.Abstract: As global temperatures continue to rise, those in favor of rapid climate mitigation face critical questions regarding maintaining current levels of economic growth. On a global scale, there remains a clear positive correlation between economic growth and carbon emissions, leading many climate scientists to call for a move away from a growth-focused economy. In this article, we draw from recent research to compare possible outcomes in terms of social well-being and climate mitigation for green growth and degrowth pathways. Green growth aims to maintain economic growth while reducing carbon emissions. Degrowth calls for a purposeful contraction of economic growth in wealthy countries. Drawing from recent studies, we compile evidence to compare these pathways and assess how each of these key strategies is evaluated and framed in the literature. We find that research indicates clear differences between these pathways in terms of mitigation potential and risks to human welfare, and we call for future research on specific topics related to a degrowth transition. Additionally, we identify issues of feasibility as primary concerns within both paradigms.Connected episodes you might be interested in:No.409R - The case for economic growth as the path to better human wellbeingNo.410 - Interview with Casey Handmer about the need for economic growthYou can find the transcript through this linkWhat was the most interesting part for you?
