This week, Grimshaw launched a podcast series on how global cities will “adapt and flourish” in a post-pandemic world.

It comes as more and more practices and publications increasingly turn to the medium to share their insights on design, architecture and urbanism.

With that in mind, ADR has waded through the myriad of podcasts out there on the topics to put together this list of the best from Australia and around the world.

The City Series

Hosted by Grimshaw’s strategic advisor on the cities practice Tim Williams, this first series of 10 podcasts invites an international cast of urbanists, planners, developers, civic and cultural leaders, ministers and engaged city-shapers to robust and lively conversations on the future of all things urban.

Guests include Deputy Lord Mayor of Sydney Jess Scully, Mirvac CEO Susan Lloyd-Hurowitz and the NSW Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes.
