Cities Reimagined is a podcast about the ideas, people and places that are reshaping urban life. It was born out of a simple realisation: too often, the real stories behind urban change go untold. Cities Reimagined opens up space for deeper conversations, where facts meet stories, and policy meets the personal. Join us as we uncover the stories, that challenge the status quo of “doing” urbanism by proving ideas and actions for reshaping our cities. Don't be shy to get in touch with feedback, wishes and your stories by sending an email to johannes@anthropocene.city or via LinkedIn .

Almost every city has them - spaces and places that feel like they’re waiting. Waiting to be reawakened, reimagined, and reconnected to the people around them. Too often, though, that reawakening follows a predictable sc
