Podcasts about public spaces

While major downtown developments often capture the headlines, neighborhood parks across the city of Detroit's 139 square miles are getting critical investments driven directly by community feedback, with funding support from the philanthropic community. In this episode, I sit down at our TechTown studio with JJ Vélez, Senior Director of Public Space for the Gilbert Family Foundation. We dig into how a $1.2 million commitment across neighborhood parks — including Dorais Park, Eliza Howell Park, and Hass Emery Park (currently in the process of being renamed Keith Slappy Park) — is helping bring community-driven visions to life, as well as how they help on the ground with community organizations. As he says: "Detroiters just want to be heard... What I've learned in this position is bringing that mentality: underpromise and overdeliver, and just being an opportunity for residents to speak and listen. There's a reason why we have two ears and one mouth. We need to do a lot more listening and a lot less speaking."

"I really do believe that the arts are critical to how we move forward together, and live performance in particular, I think, is a way of us practicing how to move across our ideological boundaries and find one another and imagine these new worlds together and create together."Shanta Thake is the Chief Artistic Officer at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts—the nation's largest performing arts complex. Before stepping into this role, she spent sixteen years at The Public Theater, shaping the city's cultural landscape through Joe's Pub and expansive community initiatives. Today, she is tearing down walls—both the literal barriers separating Lincoln Center from its neighbors, and the figurative ones that dictate who belongs in our cultural spaces. She views the arts not as a luxury, but as essential civic infrastructure. We are pleased to have Shanta Thake to discuss her journey, the power of radical curation, and the future of public performance.(00:00) Reimagining Lincoln Center(03:09) A Collective Caretaking(03:47) The Technology of Human Creation(04:20) The Curiosity of Childhood(09:25) San Juan Hill and The Wall(14:20) globalFEST: Music and Connection(16:06) The Gift of Pause(17:20) A Collective CaretakingEpisode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

Born and raised in New Orleans, Marcus Brown crafts objects—sometimes monumental, sometimes intimate—that blend history, technology, and ritual. His work urges viewers to confront the unseen: memory, sound, and the stories buried beneath everyday footpaths.Marcus' “Human Universal Musical Sculpture (HUMS)” was selected to represent Louisiana in 250: A Celebration of Public Art in America, our summer exhibition with CODAworx, the leading platform for the public art industry. Inspired by the electric hum of the human body, this interactive sound sculpture invites the public to trigger harmonic resonances through touch, a testament to Marcus' ability to fuse old-world craftsmanship with the bleeding edge of innovation.But Marcus doesn't make monuments that merely commemorate. With his ongoing project Slavery Trails, he maps America's suppressed histories using augmented reality, turning street corners and parks into digital memorials that demand attention from passersby. In conversation, Marcus sifts through the spiritual mechanics of making, the ghosts of New Orleans, and the responsibility of placing memory in plain sight.Contacts & SocialsWebsite: https://artistmarcus.comInstagram: @paintwithmusicFacebook: @artistmarcusbrownEpisode CreditsHost: Scott ‘Sourdough' PowerGuest: Marcus Brown, sculptor and educator, featured artist in 250: A Celebration of Public Art in the U.S.Production: Crewest Studio, Los AngelesTheme Music: Ricky Peugeot & Desi DeLauro of Parlor SocialStay in the Loop: Subscribe to NOT REAL ART, and follow us on Instagram for more coverage of the 250: A Celebration of Public Art in the U.S.

An unassuming sidewalk is something we tread on daily, but rarely give it a second thought. Yet it sits at the crossroads of property rights, local democracy, public health, climate resilience, and urban planning. On this intriguing episode of Mountain Money, co-hosts Roger Goldman and Kevin Kennedy sit down with Michael Pollack, professor of law at the Cardozo School of Law and author of Sidewalk Nation: Life and Law of America's Most Overlooked Resource. Pollack breaks down why putting the financial burden of sidewalk repairs on adjacent property owners is an inequitable "sidewalk roulette," how cities like Denver are reforming public space management through voter referendums, and why simplifying municipal oversight into a dedicated "Department of Sidewalks" could unlock tremendous economic and social value for communities across the country.

Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.comIn this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde examines how content creation is reshaping public life in restaurants, gyms, malls, tourist districts, and other shared spaces. When does filming become intrusion? Who gets to consent when strangers, workers, children, or vulnerable people appear in the background? How should creators balance creativity, monetization, privacy, and basic public etiquette? This episode explores the social pressure to document everything, the risks of turning everyday life into monetizable content, and the new rules of consideration needed in a camera-saturated world.

Episode 146: Exploring Hyde Park Through the 57th Street Art Fair In this episode of The Chicagoland Guide, Aaron Masliansky sits down with Cate Slighton, longtime volunteer and leader of the 57th Street Art Fair, for a conversation about Hyde Park, neighborhood identity, public space, art, history, and one of Chicago's most enduring cultural traditions. As the 57th Street Art Fair approaches its 79th year, Cate shares how the fair began in 1948 as a small gathering of local artists and evolved into the oldest juried art fair in the Midwest. The discussion expands into the broader story of Hyde Park, from the World's Columbian Exposition and the growth of the University of Chicago to urban renewal, community activism, and the neighborhood's continued cultural influence. Topics discussed include: • The origins and evolution of the 57th Street Art Fair • Mary Louise Vollmer and the artists who helped launch the fair • Why the fair remains volunteer-run and free to attend • Hyde Park's early artist colonies and creative communities • The impact of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition • The University of Chicago's role in shaping Hyde Park • Urban renewal and neighborhood transformation • The Obama Presidential Center and the future of the South Side • Why public gathering spaces and cultural events matter • The changing landscape of art fairs and independent artists • What makes Hyde Park one of Chicago's most distinctive neighborhoods Learn more about the 57th Street Art Fair: https://www.57thstreetartfair.com/ The 79th Annual 57th Street Art Fair takes place June 6-7 in Hyde Park and features nearly 200 artists from across the country. The fair is free and open to the public.   Book Mentioned in This Episode: From Clotheslines to Canopies: A History of Outdoor Art Fairs in America by Kathleen Eaton https://artfairhistory.com/about-the-book   Learn more about The Chicagoland Guide: https://www.thechicagolandguide.com/ Connect with Aaron Masliansky: https://www.aaronmasliansky.com/ Thank you for listening to The Chicagoland Guide.For thoughtful, data-driven insights on living, working, and investing in Chicagoland, visit thechicagolandguide.com.Connect with Aaron Masliansky on LinkedIn for market updates and new episodes.If you have questions, ideas, or topics you'd like covered, feel free to reach out.If you found this episode valuable, consider subscribing and sharing it with someone who cares about Chicago and its future.

Send us a message.Matt picks up a Cartier-Bresson book at the used bookstore and we read two passages from it — one on prowling the streets, one on primitivism and the hobbyist trap. The quotes pull us into a longer conversation about what it means to make work outside commercial pressure, and whether the thrill of hunting for things to sell has become a structural parallel to street photography: the finding, the deciding, the sharing. We don't fully settle it, but the overlap is hard to ignore.From there we move through John Ruskin's definition of great art — the greatest number of greatest ideas, received by the highest faculties — and Alex reads a passage from Swann's Way, the moment where music briefly restores Swan's belief that there's something worth devoting a life toward. We've talked around definitions of art on this show before, and this episode probably gets us closest to something we can actually use.The last third of the episode centers on an Italo Calvino essay called "The Written City: Inscriptions and Graffiti," written in 1980, which frames words on walls — whether graffiti, political signs, or advertising — as a form of aggression imposed on anyone who happens to walk by. We spend some time with the idea and push on it: what it exempts, where we agree, where it gets complicated, and what it says about the visual state of things fifty years later. -AiSupport the show If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

This talk examines how artworks operate across different contexts, from museums and galleries to public space and digital circulation. Drawing on over fifteen years of practice, artist Bahia Shehab reflects on how audience engagement shifts when art is encountered within institutional settings versus when it is publicly displayed and exposed to everyday life. Through examples from projects realized in cities such as New York, Istanbul, Marrakesh, and Hawaii, the talk considers how artworks travel, remain relevant across geographies, and are shaped by social media—particularly in regions where cultural infrastructure is limited.

Can public spaces ever truly be safe for people living with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS)?In this episode of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast, Aaron Goodman speaks with Aimi Hamraie, Associate Professor at York University whose work focuses on disability justice, accessibility, and inclusive design.They explore:• Why MCS is often overlooked in accessibility conversations • Remote access as a vital form of inclusion • How chemicals and fragrances can make public spaces inaccessible • Why some people with MCS leave cities • What truly MCS-inclusive public spaces could look like

Editor's Note: This episode was recorded in March 2026, before the City of San Diego released its initial FY27 budget proposal. That proposal has since raised urgent questions about the future of public arts funding in San Diego, making Jonathon and Grant's conversation about arts, culture, and downtown's future especially timely. Jonathon Glus is the Prebys Senior Art & Design Fellow in Residence at the Downtown San Diego Partnership, working to help shape a bold vision for a more creative, vibrant, and connected downtown. A longtime arts leader, Jonathon brings national experience and a deep belief in the role artists, creative businesses, and cultural infrastructure can play in the life of a city. In San Diego, his work is focused on what it would take for downtown to become not only a place of business, but a civic and creative center worthy of the region's talent, beauty, and binational identity. This Episode: What role do arts and culture play in helping a city thrive? Jonathon and Grant explore why downtowns still matter, not just as business districts, but as civic centers where people gather, connect, experience beauty, and feel part of a shared life. Jonathon makes the case that arts and culture are essential to that work. They bring people into public spaces, support creative workers and small businesses, strengthen local identity, and help make a city feel alive. Together, they look at what San Diego can learn from other cities that have used creativity to reimagine their urban cores, while also naming the ingredients this region already has, from Balboa Park and historic buildings to its border-region identity and creative talent. At a moment when public arts funding is under serious threat, the conversation is a reminder that arts and culture are not extras. They are part of the civic infrastructure that helps communities build belonging, opportunity, and shared pride. If San Diego wants to be a global and inviting city, arts and culture need to be part of that story. Key Moments: [4:40] The shift from focusing only on cultural institutions to centering artists and creatives [8:50] Why affordability, space, and invitation matter for San Diego's creative workforce [22:15] How arts and culture can shape the next era of downtown [33:38] How imagination and grit can help San Diego move beyond a scarcity mindset [46:19] What a more creative downtown San Diego could look and feel like in five years Resources Mentioned in This Episode: San Diego Downtown Partnership – Organization working to support, strengthen, and reimagine downtown San Diego Balboa Park – San Diego's historic cultural park and one of the region's most beloved civic assets Creative Enterprise Zones – Policy and planning models used in cities such as London to protect and grow creative districts Pacific Standard Time – Getty-led regional arts initiative that brings museums and cultural organizations together around shared themes Take Action: Support Public Arts Funding – Pay attention to local budget decisions and speak up for arts and culture as essential civic infrastructure.

Ya-Ting Liu became New York City's first-ever Chief Public Realm Officer in 2023 — a role created from scratch to focus City Hall's attention on the parks, plazas, streets, and sidewalks that make a dense city livable.Recorded inside NYC City Hall in November 2025, just after Zohran Mamdani's election as New York's next mayor but before his inauguration, this conversation traces how the job came to exist, why the Fifth Avenue redesign won't break ground until 2028 ("utility spaghetti" is the answer), and how 26 blocks of Jackson Heights became Paseo Park — one of the most ambitious community-led open streets anywhere in the world.We also talk about finding the "public realm Avengers" inside government, why "1% for Parks" isn't a rallying cry most New Yorkers can picture, and Ya-Ting's three favorite public spaces in the city (spoiler: one is under the Brooklyn Bridge).Since this recording, Ya-Ting has joined NYU Tandon as Chief of Staff and Director of Strategy in the Office of the Dean.

Well-designed public spaces often look promising at opening, then slowly lose energy and use. Max Musicant explains how that decline comes down to what happens after construction—who maintains the space, how it's programmed, and whether anyone is responsible for making it work day to day. From simple fixes like better seating and things to do, this conversation gets into why so many spaces never become places.

What happens when artists are brought in at the beginning of public space design — not as an afterthought, but as essential problem solvers? In this episode I sit down with Nikko Kimzin, founder of Kimzin Creative, an arts and equity consulting firm based in Petaluma, California. Nikko shares how his team uses the power of art to unlock community imagination, inform city planning, and build public spaces that truly reflect the people who use them.

Fixing housing supply in Australia has become one of the biggest policy challenges of our time—but turning reform into actual homes on the ground is where things start to break down.In this episode, we sit down with NSW Planning Minister Paul Scully to unpack what's really happening behind the state's aggressive housing push, and whether these reforms can deliver at the scale required.This conversation goes beyond headlines and policy announcements. It dives into the structural issues holding back housing supply in Australia—from feasibility constraints and construction bottlenecks to community resistance and the limits of zoning reform. While initiatives like transport-oriented development and low-to-mid rise planning changes aim to unlock supply, the reality is far more complex than simply increasing density.We also explore the gap between approvals and delivery—why thousands of homes can sit in the pipeline without ever being built. From financing barriers and labour shortages to the economics of development, this episode breaks down what actually determines whether a project moves forward or stalls.If you're trying to understand where the housing market is heading, this is the conversation that connects policy to real-world outcomes. Because in the end, the question isn't whether we can plan for more housing—it's whether we can actually deliver it.Episode Highlights01:59 — Why Housing Reform Is Finally Happening Now04:00 — Why Housing Is the “Everything Problem”07:41 — Transport-Oriented Development: The Big Bet12:26 — Design Quality vs Density: Can We Have Both?24:37 — Community Backlash vs Housing Equity26:42 — Why Key Workers Can't Afford to Live Nearby28:46 — Downsizing Myth: Does It Really Free Up Supply?32:22 — Three Practical Ways to Increase Housing Supply33:57 — Inside the Push for Social Housing Investment37:49 — Why Approved Projects Still Don't Get Built39:00 — Cutting Red Tape: What's Actually Changing40:32 — Finance Guarantees and the Labour Shortage44:40 — Using Every Lever to Fix Housing Supply47:54 — Industry Consultation: What's Working, What's Not50:12 — Housing Delivery Authority: What's Changed52:58 — Final Thoughts: Property, Policy, and RealityAbout the GuestPaul Scully is the NSW Minister for Planning and Public Spaces, responsible for overseeing one of the most ambitious housing reform agendas in the state's history. His portfolio sits at the centre of efforts to address housing supply in Australia, including planning system overhauls, transport-oriented development policies, and initiatives to accelerate housing delivery.With direct oversight of both policy design and implementation, Paul brings a rare, inside-the-system perspective on the challenges of turning housing strategy into real outcomes. His work focuses not just on increasing approvals, but on addressing the deeper constraints—feasibility, infrastructure, and coordination—that determine whether homes actually get built.Connect with PaulPaul Scully - Minister for Planning and Public Spaces at NSW Government and Member for Wollongong | LinkedInPaul Scully MPPaul Scully MP (@PaulScullyWollongong) • FacebookPaul Scully MP (@paulscullymp)Paul Scully MP (@paulscullymp) / Posts / XResourcesVisit our website: https://www.theelephantintheroom.com.auIf you have any questions or would like to be featured on our show, contact us at:The Elephant in the Room Property Podcast - questions@theelephantintheroom.com.auLooking for a Sydney Buyers Agent? https://www.gooddeeds.com.auWork with Veronica: https://www.veronicamorgan.com.auLooking for a Mortgage Broker? alcove.com.auWork with Chris: chrisbates@alcove.com.auEnjoyed the podcast?

"Welcome to Harshaneeyam. Today, we delve into a powerful work of Bulgarian literature that has recently made its way to the 2026 International Booker Prize shortlist: 'She Who Remains' by Renée Karbash.The novel explores the life of a 'sworn virgin'—a woman who, according to an ancient Balkan tradition, takes a vow of celibacy and lives as a man to gain the rights and status reserved for men in a patriarchal society. However, Karbash moves beyond the tradition itself to examine the psychological weight of this choice. It is a story about identity, the cost of survival, and the profound isolation that comes with erasing one's past.Joining us to discuss this work is the English translator Izidora Angel. Having translated other notable Bulgarian writers like Natalia Deleva, Izidora found this particular project to be uniquely challenging and innovative.In our conversation, she talks about the experience of the book being recognized by the International Booker Prize—from the initial longlist to the formal invitation to London. We also discuss her translation process, specifically how she approached Karbash's experimental style and the linguistic shifts required to capture a character who transitions between a female past and a male present. It is a fascinating look at how a translator navigates a text that is as much about what is unsaid as what is written."Izidora Angel is a Bulgarian-born memoirist, essayist and literary translator based in Chicago. Her translation of She Who Remains by Rene Karabash has been shortlisted for the 2026 International Booker Prize.Izidora's writing has appeared in A Public Space, Astra Magazine, Electric Literature, Gulf Coast, and elsewhere, and anthologized in Best Literary Translations. She's been recognized by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Elizabeth Kostova Foundation, PEN/Heim, and others.Izidora is completing her debut memoir, Solomon's Daughter, first excerpted in The American Scholar.If you enjoy Harshaneeyam Podcast please follow the show on Apple, Spotify, or your favourite podcasting platform and leave a review for us.

In this episode, we sit down with Michael Thomas, the acclaimed novelist behind Man Gone Down and winner of the International Dublin Literary Award, to discuss his powerful memoir The Broken King. In a raw and deeply personal conversation, Thomas reflects on fatherhood without the polish often found in parenting narratives, confronting the trauma, racism, and family history that shaped his upbringing in 1970s Boston and resurfaced as he tried to become a different kind of father to his own sons. Drawing inspiration from a line in Little Gidding, The Broken King explores the lives of the men who shaped him—his absent father, his estranged brother, his children, and ultimately himself—while reckoning with generational trauma, artistic struggle, and the difficult journey toward healing and self-understanding. Michael Thomas is the author of the national bestseller Man Gone Down, winner of the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and a New York Times Top Ten Novel of the Year. His writing has appeared in A Public Space, the New Yorker, the New York Times, and in Ben George's anthology The Book of Dads. He is a professor of English at Hunter College. He lives in Brooklyn.

In this episode, step inside Deir el-Medina, the remarkably well-preserved village of the artisans who built the royal tombs of ancient Egypt. Known in antiquity as Pa Demi or “the village”, this desert settlement near Thebes (modern Luxor) was home to the skilled workers of the Set Maat, the “Place of Truth,” where pharaohs like Tutankhamun, Ramesses II, Nefertari, and Hatshepsut were laid to rest. Through tomb art, legal documents, and everyday texts, Deir el-Medina offers one of the most intimate portraits of non-elite life in ancient Egypt. Explore the lives of three individuals whose stories survive in astonishing detail. Meet Ramose, the wealthiest man in the village, whose decorated tombs and appeals to fertility goddesses reveal private hopes for an heir. Follow his adopted successor, Qenherkhepeshef, a prolific scribe whose tomb preserved the famous “Book of Dreams,” a guide to omens written in red and black ink. Finally, Naunakhte, whose surviving will shows that women in the New Kingdom owned property and controlled how it was inherited. Offline Sources Cited: Blerk, Nicolaas J. 2021.
