33. CLEANING UP THE CITY: Waste-lands in Mumbai and Lagos (+moving capitals, +renaming cities, +urban running events and more)
Saison 2 · Épisode 33
lundi 21 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:06:55
In this month's episode, Beth and Tom reflect on UN World Clean-up Day, inviting Deji Akinpelu (Centre for Housing and Sustainable Development (CHSD) University of Lagos), and Purva Dewoolkar (School of Environment, Education and Development, University of Manchester) to share their work rethinking waste management and sanitation in Lagos and Mumbai.
'Cleaning up the city' is easier said than done - and can also be dangerous, depending on the nature of the waste. Waste management is central to the livelihoods of millions of people in cities around the world, as well as to food chains and questions of nutrition. Together they discuss how to manage different kinds of waste in an integrated way, the roles of different individuals and groups, including residents, waste pickers and local governments, and how waste connects to wider climate resilience actions and plans.

32. INDIGENOUS URBANISM AND YOUTH: fluid geographies in Latin America, +Ceuta, +cats and dogs, +marine heatwaves, +population surge and more
Saison 2 · Épisode 32
vendredi 21 août 2026 • Durée 01:20:16
In this month's episode, Beth and Tom mark World Indigenous Peoples' Day and the International Day of Youth with Dr Philipp Horn, School of Geography and Planning, University of Sheffield. Drawing on Philipp's work with Indigenous youth from the Bolivian cities of El Alto, Santa Cruz, Sucre and Rurrenabaque, they challenge stereotypes of indigenous lives, highlighting fluid geographies and mobilities between urban and rural areas.
Together they discuss Indigenous claims to the city, how young Indigenous people navigate urban life and what indigenous epistemology and practice can offer urban studies.

31. INSIDE URBAN STUDIES: Voices from RC21, +chokepoint cities, +Binface, +bar brawls, +polo clubs and more
Saison 2 · Épisode 31
mercredi 29 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:08:12
In July's radar, we report back from one of the major urban studies conferences - RC21 - which is held every two years in different cities across the world. Bringing together 1200 scholars at the University of Vienna, the 2026 conference provided spaces for provocation and discussion about the methods, approaches and theories we need to identify and address urban inequalities in these contemporary times.
The central part of the episode is a discussion with the editors of the International Journal of Urban and Regional Research (IJURR) - Mona Fawaz, Liza Weinstein and Nik Theodore - about their 50th anniversary plans. We are excited to announce that these include a proposed collab with Urban Radar to produce a mini-series of special episodes connecting long-standing urban questions raised by scholars over the past five decades to contemporary analysis from emerging researchers.
We also share a series of vox-pops from the conference, with Dolf te Lintelo, Catalina Ortiz, Gabriel Silvestre, Nitin Bathla, Simone Tulumello, Lindsay Sawyer and Vanesa Castan Broto.
Before that, on our radar we discuss:
Whether the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz might herald the development of new 'chokepoint' cities able to control strategic waterways
What Count Binface could learn from previous comedy candidates standing for election
The implications of Berlin's bunker shortage for cultural and arts venues
The Soho bar brawl and which city has the latest bedtime
Why young people are busy doing nothing in Bangkok
Why environmentalists are disputing the closure of a colonial-era polo club in Delhi
30. URBAN CHARITY RETHOUGHT: A conversation with Nicola Banks
Saison 2 · Épisode 30
vendredi 17 juillet 2026 • Durée 52:59
In this month's feature Tom and Beth are joined by Professor Nicola Banks from the Global Development Institute, University of Manchester to discuss One World Together, an innovative model of charitable giving that makes sure the bulk of the funding ends up where it is needed most.
Often less than 10% of what we give to charity gets to where it's needed, and communities are not always the ones deciding what it gets spent on - even though they are the best placed to identify and address local challenges. What if there is a different way?
We discuss:
Why are traditional approaches to charity unsuited to addressing urban poverty around the world?
How does the reduction of international aid impact the existing structural and institutional inequalities which underpin dominant development and donor models of charitable giving?
How do innovations like One World Together help us rethink charitable approaches to addressing urban poverty?
Guest:
Nicola Banks is a Professor of Global Development in the Global Development Institute, University of Manchester. Her research situates development as a long-term process of transformation and social justice. She has undertaken decades of research on urban poverty, youth and the role of NGOs in global development, including work on employment and livelihoods among the urban poor in Dhaka, Bangladesh and an ESRC Future Research Leaders award to look at youth experiences of urban poverty in Tanzania. She is Director of Social Responsibility for the School for Environment, Education and Development (SEED) and in 2022 launched One World Together, a global movement for trust-based giving which has been recognised for outstanding social and environmental impact through the University of Manchester’s Making a Difference Award.
29. BREXIT, AUSTERITY AND YOUTH FUTURES: Ten years later, +unbounding zoos, +war with Russia, +street 'goons' in Kenya, +banned flags in Oxfordshire and more
Saison 2 · Épisode 29
mardi 30 juin 2026 • Durée 01:03:08
In this episode Tom and Beth are joined by Professor Sarah Marie Hall from the University of Manchester to reflect on ten years since Brexit and specifically how austerity has altered the lifecourses of young people in Barcelona, Sardinia and Greater Manchester.
Together, they discuss how Brexit layered on top of existing crises, how community podcasts helped chart economic change during this extended period of waiting, and why valuing everyday lived experience as evidence is a radical act. And, perhaps, even a way to finally bring austerity as a lived condition to an end.
Go to 32:54 for this discussion.

28. RIVER/CITY: A conversation with Olivia Casagrande and Roberto Monte-Mór
Saison 2 · Épisode 28
lundi 8 juin 2026 • Durée 58:42
High up in the Andes mountain range, two rivers begin their journeys. Starting in the El Plomo hill, one becomes the Mapocho river travelling though Chile into Santiago, dividing the city in two. The other makes its way from the Peruvian Andes and develops into a complex network of waters and rivers to become the Amazon basin, one of the longest rivers in the world. Rivers such as these shape and are shaped by the cities they meet.
In this month’s feature Tom and Beth are joined by Dr Olivia Casagrande and Professor Roberto Monte-Mór to ask:
What can urbanists learn from studying the Mapocho and Amazon rivers?
How does thinking with rivers challenge our categories of urbanization, racialization and indigeneity?
How do creative and visual methods enable us to see or dream with the river differently?
Together they take a fascinating tour, diving into concepts of ‘extended naturalization’ and ‘fluvial epistemic alternatives’; following what river/city intersections mean for metropolitan green-blue planning; unpacking the implications of giving legal rights to rivers and the meanings of indigenous narratives; and how storytelling with and through rivers helps us dream of alternative ways of being and doing.

27. MAKING A PRIME MINISTER IN MAKERFIELD? Predicting election results, +Ebola in African cities, +domestic worker activism, +global sand crisis, +housing and the World Urban Forum and more
Saison 2 · Épisode 27
vendredi 22 mai 2026 • Durée 57:05
In this episode Beth and Tom are joined by Dr Lotte Hargrave from the University of Manchester to discuss whether psephology - the study of elections and voting behaviour - can predict the next Prime Minister of the UK.
All eyes are turned on the town of Makerfield in Greater Manchester, where Andy Burnham is making a play to win the constituency and head south - back to Westminster, and (probably) a leadership contest to replace Keir Starmer as UK PM.
With Lotte we discuss whether we can predict the results of the election, the potential outcomes of a win for Burnham for the Greater Manchester mayoralty and why hyperlocal factors suggest it is all still to play for.
Go to 27:56 for this discussion.
Also on our radar:
Whether the UK needs to introduce maximum indoor temperatures for workplaces as urban heat rises

26. COMPARATIVE LEARNING THROUGH COMMUNITY EXCHANGE: A conversation with Jack Makau and Temilade Sesan
Saison 2 · Épisode 26
vendredi 8 mai 2026 • Durée 01:03:31
In this episode - recorded on location in Kampala, Uganda during an African Cities Research Consortium (ACRC) workshop in late April - we delve into questions of how urban communities in informal settlements can build power through their own forms of knowledge and data collection, and how two-way exchanges between cities can strengthen this process.
For the main discussion, Tom was there in person with two of the research programme’s ‘City Manager’s - Jack Makau (City Manager for Nairobi) and Temilade Sesan (City Manager for Lagos). The discussion is first introduced by Beth and Tom who set the scene and provide some background, and following the main conversation they also offer concluding reflections.
In this episode, we explore:
How can community-led data collection and analysis help to shift the levers of urban power?
What role can action research play in changing the attitudes of governments towards the urban poor?
How can we move from individual to collective solutions through community action and transnational learning?
Along the way, we consider how co-produced urban research with communities changes the kinds of questions we ask as researchers; the challenges of bringing government to the table to take community priorities seriously; and the role of civil society organizations and universities as intermediaries in this process.
Jack Makau is Associate director of Shack/Slum Dwellers International (SDI) Kenya, and ACRC City Manager for Nairobi. In the course of his decades of work with SDI, he has worked to support communities collect data in over 400 informal settlements in cities across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, South Africa, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Ghana, and Bukina Faso.
25. ASYMMETRIC URBANISM: Pushback in Portland, +Palantir in Sheffield, +dunking in Trento, +adopting cities, +Pope vs Trump and more
Saison 2 · Épisode 25
jeudi 23 avril 2026 • Durée 01:07:03
In this episode, Beth and Tom are joined by Ryan Bellinson, researcher/civil servant living in Portland, Oregon, US, to discuss how residents and community groups can mobilise their power to resist democratic backsliding.
From Minneapolis to Portland federal immigration enforcement agents have been deploying hostile tactics to identify and seek to deport migrants, even those of legal status. Meanwhile federal programmes of support from housing to environmental protection are being slashed in part to finance massive increases in defence spending. The asymmetry between authoritarian and progressive forces is increasing. In this context, what powers and levers remain for grassroots groups and public bodies to push back?
Go straight to 33:13 for this conversation.
First, on the radar, they discuss:
Whether implementing Palantir's federal data platform in Sheffield could exacerbate health inequalities
What the Hillsborough Law has in common with ritualistic dunking in Trento, Italy
Food security in the context of the closure of the straits of Hormuz
Whether 'adopting' cities marks a new approach to post-war aid & reconstruction in Mykolaiv, Ukraine
Pope versus Trump: appeals to authority and the role of religion in African cities
Real estate in and around New York - what the media does and doesn't cover
Guests:
Ryan Bellinson is a former PhD student of the University of Sheffield and is now Community Innovation Strategist at the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. He also co-leads the new Governing Together programme, working with Dark Matter Labs, and is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow in Cities, Climate and Innovation at University College London’s Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose.
