Are you interested in the superblock model's effects of health and the environment? Our debate today works with the article titled Environmental and health effects of the Barcelona superblocks from 2025, by Katherine Perez, Laia Palencia, Maria Jose Lopez, Brenda Biaani Leon‑Gomez, Anna Puig‑Ribera, Anna Gomez‑Gutierrez, Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, Gloria Carrasco‑Turigas, and Carme Borrell, published in the BMC Public Health journal. This is a great preparation to our next interview with Laura Reupke in episode 464 talking about the opportunities within the Superblock model. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how the Barcelona superblock model actually impacts urban life. This article suggests that this urban design could be a vital strategy for mitigating climate change impacts and improving public health.Find the article through this link.Abstract: The superblocks model of Barcelona (Spain) seeks to reorganize the city based on reversing the distribution of public space between vehicles and people by prioritizing citizens, thus improving their environmental conditions and quality of life. The objective of this paper was to describe the effects on environmental, health and quality of life of the first three superblocks implemented, discuss the lessons learned, and provide recommendations for the future. The evaluation included different approaches depending on the superblock analyzed: A pre-post-intervention health survey, environmental measures of air quality, the Microscale Audit of Urban Landscapes for Pedestrians (MAPS), an observational study on target areas of physical activity (SOPARC), ethnographic guerrilla studies, and focus groups. Residents and workers in all three of the evaluated superblocks reported a perceived improvement in well-being, tranquillity and quality of sleep, some reduction in noise and pollution and an increase in social interaction. The built environment of the superblocks clearly influenced walkability, and the lower car traffic volume improved air quality measures. In one of the superblocks, the same intervention calmed traffic in one of the areas but not in another. Although on a small scale, this evaluation of the environmental, and health effects of the superblocks provides support for expanding the model to other areas of the city.Connected episodes you might be interested in:No.193R - Transforming our cities: Best practices towards clean air and active transportationNo.423R - Scaling the superblock model to city level in Barcelona?

"The future is here, just not evenly distributed."Are you interested in urban conscious evolution and a hopeful future? What do you think about the saying: the future is here just not evenly distributed? How can we move towards better urban futures? Special reflective episode with Ben Vass, senior research engineer and yours truly, Fanni Melles, future of cities researcher, discussing what the last five years of the podcast and the world have taught us. We will talk about energy abundance, not evenly distributed but already present futures, antifragility and residuality theory, human progress and hope, and many more. Ben Vass is a senior research engineer, graph shaman and data magician who wants to build a Dyson swarm, explore the stars and understand consciousness. Standing between two worlds, he sees everything as a network of networks. He works on upgrading the world's financial infrastructure for transparency and verifiability. And his voice might be familiar because he voiced the podcast intro. Ben is also my partner in crime in every sense.My name is Fanni Melles, PhD and I am an architect, future of cities researcher and creator of the What is The Future for Cities? podcast. Hungarian-born and Melbourne-based, my PhD argued that generic solutions fail because every city is unique. I see cities as emergent properties of their people and want to help people shape places more consciously, creating urban conscious evolution.And with Ben, we are expecting 2 new urban agents, thus, this seemed a good time to stop and reflect on the last five years of the podcast and look into the future before a major paradigm shift in our thinking.Check out the Building Better Cities book which synthesises the last five years of the podcast, written by Fanni Melles.Find out more about Ben through these links:Ben Vass on LinkedInTokCast by Brett HallThe beginning of infinity by David DeutschFind out more about Fanni through these links:Fanni Melles on LinkedInFanni Melles website@fannimelles as Fanni Melles on X@fannimelles as Fanni Melles on InstagramVitruvian Solutions websiteVitruvian Solutions on LinkedInFanni Melles on RTRFM On Record program;Fanni Melles on RRR ByteIntoIT radio;Find out more about the podcast through these links:WTF4Cities on LinkedInWTF4Cities website@WTF4Cities as WTF4Cities on X@w.t.f.4cities as WTF4Cities on InstagramWTF4Cities on YoutubeConnected episodes you might be interested in:No.154R - Smart city, smarter city, smarter approachesNo.156 - Interview with Fanni Melles about urban conscious evolutionNo.180 - Interview with Ben Vass about knowledge and knowledge-creationNo.461R - Building Better Cities (book summary)What was the most interesting part for you?

Are you interested in how to build better cities based on 5 years of conversations? Summary of the book titled Building Better Cities from 2026, by yours truly, Fanni Melles.This is a great summary of what we have learned during the first five years of the What is The Future for Cities? Podcast. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how we can create better outcomes for us and upcoming generations. This book describes the dangerous memes to be aware of and the foundational pieces which we discussed on the podcast with multiple guests.Find the book through this link.Book description: A city is not something that happens to us. It is the emergent result of the choices, interactions, and relationships of the people who live within it. Which means we are not its victims – we are its architects, if we choose to be conscious of it. In this grounded synthesis of five years of conversations, Fanni Melles examines the dangerous ideas quietly shaping our urban futures and offers a clearer, more hopeful alternative. Drawing on research and real-world practice, she shows how we can move beyond limiting narratives and instead strengthen the conditions for cities that are more adaptable, humane, and regenerative. The future of our cities is still ours to decide. This book shows us how to participate more consciously in shaping it.Connected episodes you might be interested in:No.154R - Smart city, smarter city, smarter approachesNo.156 - Interview with Fanni Melles about urban evolutionNo.462 - Reflections on the last five years with Fanni Melles and Ben VassYou can find the transcript through this link.What was the most interesting part for you?

Does the Bible really make an exception for divorce, or do we think it does because it fits with our divorce-heavy culture? In this episode, I dig into what marriage was actually designed for, walk through the "exception clause" in Matthew 19:9, and unpack why the Pharisees' question to Jesus helps us understand His answers. We'll see how and why Mark and Luke don't include the "exception clause," and how a godly view of divorce doesn't allow for remarriage. The full article: Can Christians Get Divorced and Remarried?

In this episode of SB Talks, Vincent O'Neill and Chief Investment Officer Nick Ryder explore whether the US economy is entering a "Goldilocks" phase, with moderating inflation, softer employment data and exceptionally strong corporate earnings easing pressure on the Federal Reserve. They discuss what the latest US and Australian inflation figures mean for interest rates, why markets have become more optimistic about the outlook for central banks, and the key risks that remain. Closer to home, they examine the RBA's latest decision, the early themes emerging from reporting season, and what weakening housing market activity and slowing mortgage demand could mean for the Australian economy in the months ahead.

In this episode of Meet the Investor, Joey Mouracadeh sits down with Candace Myung, Managing Director in Oaktree Capital Management's Special Situations Group, part of one of the world's leading alternative investment managers with over US$220 billion in assets under management. What exactly is a "special situation"? And why has Oaktree built one of its flagship strategies around it? Candace explains how the strategy has evolved beyond its distressed investing roots to invest across debt and equity, using bespoke structures to capitalise on opportunities created by company-specific challenges rather than relying solely on broader market cycles. The discussion also covers Oaktree's approach to downside protection, operational value creation and where special situations may sit within a private markets portfolio.

Whatever sits at the top of your hierarchy of truth determines how you interpret everything else, including your own suffering. In part two, I use a fast food restaurant to show how authority works, then walk through understanding my own depression through this worldview hierarchy. I share my own 20 years with dysthymia and severe depression, and how this hierarchy became a life-saving tool for me.

Every worldview runs on five sources of truth: Scripture, reason, tradition, experience, and emotion. All five are unavoidable. All five have real value. And all five will affect everything you believe the moment they are move important than God's Word. In part one, I walk through each category, showing how Scripture discusses using each rightly and wrongly, and give you a real assignment for catching which one is actually running your life.
