Beneath The Concrete

Cities are not just built—they are shaped by the conversations we are not having. Beneath the Concrete is a podcast reimagining how we shape African cities—together. It brings architects, planners, designers, developers, and communities into one space to explore how the built environment reflects who we are today, and how we design for where we are going. Hosted by Nujuma Ibrahim, the show moves beyond architecture as a discipline and into the systems, histories, and cultures that shape it—creating space for cross-disciplinary dialogue, shared learning, and collective thinking centered on people and place. Tune in on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen, and join the conversation shaping the future of African cities. beneatheconcrete.substack.com
