Daniel Raven-Ellison is a Guerrilla Geographer, National Geographic Emerging Explorer and is leading the campaign to make London the world's first National Park City. A former secondary school Head of Geography, Daniel's work focuses on exploring and thinking about places in creative ways, including our urban environments. Daniel shares brilliant insights from his adventures having explored some of the world's largest cities to understand critical themes including violence, depression and green space. He walked the height of Mount Everest over 10 days by only using London's buildings and also completed an expedition with National Geographic and Cisco to explore the internet of everything, where he walked 1,686km across national parks and cities wearing an EEG that tracked his emotions.

In this episode, we dive into a few Big Ideas. First up is National Geographic explorer and geographer Daniel Raven-Ellison, who started a movement to have London, England declared a National Park City. And, I speak to Charter City Toronto steering committee members Doug Earl and former mayor John Sewell about how to gain recognized autonomy for the City in the constitution.

This is a website about the power of “what if?”, and how, in a time of existential challenges, we might take “what if?” ideas and make them a reality. “What if we tackled climate change with imagination, courage and positivity?” is one such question that runs through all our blogs here. But I have been deeply impressed by the work of Daniel Raven Ellison and his efforts to try to get the city of London designated as a ‘National Park City’. As we’ll see, it is a powerful “what if”, one that opens up the imagination and all manner of possibilities.
