The City Champions podcast brings together voices from all corners of urban development. Our guests share how they see and understand our cities—and the creative ways they’re tackling today’s urban challenges.
In mid-2024, we began exploring ways to share U-CAN’s and our member organizations’ perspectives on cities, including how we see urban challenges and the solutions we are collectively pursuing. One key challenge was reaching audiences outside the usual urban ecosystem, such as students, young professionals, social innovators, and everyday citizens, while speaking in a language that resonates with them. This led to our partnership with Josh Talks, a leading media platform that connects with younger audiences across India in multiple languages.
Our cities are a reflection of the choices we make. In the first episode of the City Champions Podcast series, our guests break down what’s already happening in our cities and how young changemakers can take action – from holding leaders accountable to driving local change.
