This is a special edition to the podcast. I recorded these episodes in the summer of 2023 with my good friend and colleague Leyla Saadi from Urban Collabs. Urban Collabs is a consultancy, Leyla is an urbanist and urban designer. They do really cool work, so definitely check them out. Back in the summer of 2023 we thought of doing something different, we thought of sitting down in the living room, opening google maps and exploring cities from the top view (hence the name), cities that we know and lived in. From this idea, this experiment, a very fun experience came out and I think you will also hear this through the episode. We also decided to record the computer screen as we go through google maps and explore the cities to actually give a spatial dimension to the discussion and something interesting came out. It's not the standard approach to the episodes I’ve been putting out for the last couple of years, this is a much more laid back discussion between two friends and urbanists.
