3. Digital Urbanism, from the Grassroots

Play
Apple Spotify Episodes
The podcast Digital Urbanism, from the Grassroots, is based on my postdoc research, 'Grassroots Digital Urbanism', funded by the German Research Foundation. In this podcast I interview scholars/activists who have either practically imagined an alternative to the classic tech-capitalist model of Smart Cities, or conceptually built new narratives to digital urbanism. The podcast has been structured as two series. One explores the Grassroots practices, and one explores Municipality practices. Hope you enjoy!MORE Host Niloufar Vadiati
