How do we create cities that reflect how vibrant and resilient we are? In this episode, we explores the potential of integrative urban planning through a conversation with architect Leila Lesme, who shares her experience working on sustainable development projects in Paraguay.

We'll reflect on the challenges facing Latin American cities, from unplanned growth to political barriers, and the creative, often unexpected ways communities respond. Through storytelling, insight, and hope, this episode highlights the importance of collaboration, belonging, and designing futures that truly serve the people.
