The podcast presents engaging and insightful interviews with architects, city planners, developers, strategists and change-makers. These conversations take place between international guests and your host, Tim Williams, Grimshaw’s Cities Group Lead.&nbsp;Organised into series which reflect a specific overarching topic or theme, the podcasts examine how are cities are evolving, how they have dealt with unprecedented recent growth and how they will adapt to change and regenerate for a better future. The complexities and issues facing our cities have never been so topical and the podcast showcases ideas, experiences and strategies for a contemporary world.

An impressive and balanced&nbsp;list.&nbsp; Series 2 presents Culture &amp; The City: culture both high and low and culture as a catalyst for renewal. Some of the featured conversations are with Melih Fereli of Istanbul’s Arter; Tim Jones of the City of London, Cultural Mile and Sara Hamka who founded and directs a wildly popular poetry slam in Western Sydney.
