The City Champions podcast brings together different perspectives from key players across urban development, with guests voicing the way they view and understand our cities, and attempt to solve for our urban challenges.
In mid-2024, we began thinking about ways to put out our way of thinking at U-CAN and our member organisations, about how we see cities, the challenges they face and the solutions we are collectively working on. One of the challenges in doing so was to reach an audience which is not already part of the urban ecosystem – students, young professionals, social innovators and citizens, while ensuring we speak in a language which they understand. This became the basis of our partnership with Josh Talks, a leading media platform which reaches a younger audience listening in multiple Indian 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.
