Financing urban infrastructure and promoting decent, affordable housing were both big topics at the United Nations global cities summit, the World Urban Forum, recently held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Architect and urban planner Claudio Acioly helps explain the worldwide effort to improve conditions in fast-growing cities in the developing world, where one of four people live in slums.

A quarter of the world’s urban population live in informal settlements, mostly in the global South. In advance of the 2020 World Urban Forum in February 2020, this episode looks at how IIED’s work with marginalised urban communities developed, and what opportunities exist now for building more inclusive cities. To discuss these and other related issues, in this podcast our director of communications, Liz Carlile, talks with two urban experts, David Satterthwaite and Anna Walnycki. Both guests explain why they feel optimistic about the opportunities for inclusive, low-carbon sustainable urbanisation, inspired by successful community-led projects and the urban residents doing this vital work.

The state of affordable housing in major cities around the world is an issue of increasing concern to politicians - and of course to the growing population of large cities. Next month, the UN's World Urban Forum will discuss rapid urbanisation and the pressures it brings on cities’ infrastructure and housing. In Germany, Berlin is the first city in German history to impose rent controls. In London, an inquiry into the disastrous fire in an inner city high rise block has highlighted the quality and safety concerns surrounding affordable accommodation in the capital. Everywhere urban planners are asking: can large cities provide affordable quality accommodation for residents? Paul Henley and a panel of expert guests discuss the big challenges facing local authorities and city dwellers around the world.

"Micro Livestock" Hosts: Darren Weeks and Vicky Davis COMPLETE SHOW NOTES AND CREDITS AT: https://governamerica.com/radio/radio-archives/22101-govern-america-february-10-2018-micro-livestock It's the battle of the memos, as Democrats attempt to get a retaliatory memo out after the GOP FISA memo. New false EAS alert warns Floridians of a non-existent tsunami. What is going on with our emergency warning systems that so many false alarms are being triggered? Market mayhem as the big three indexes each drop 10 percent on Thursday. Is the Federal Reserve weaponizing interest rates to take down Trump? One analyst believes so. Yet another government shutdown takes place this week. Rand Paul chastises his colleagues on the floor of the senate. Global Warming is now causing rapes, despite much of the north being buried in snow. The Establishment continues to promote bug eating for the slaves. Body parts of dead "human resources" are shipped abroad for profit. Former FBI director, James Comey, talks about how he and Robert Mueller transitioned the FBI to an intelligence agency. The World Urban Forum began this week with a promotion of tiny houses. A discussion about definitions, and phone calls on various topics.

Did you go to the World Urban Forum in Medellín, Colombia last week? Neither did your hosts Jeff Wood and Tanya Snyder, but we sure found a lot to say about it anyway -- or at least, about the remarkable urban transformation that Medellín made, in the midst of war, to make the city's transportation infrastructure more equitable.  But first, we talked to our very own Angie Schmitt about the Parking Madness tournament. Did she know Rochester was a winner from the moment she laid eyes on that remarkable parking crater? You'll have to listen to find out.  And finally we turn to Dallas, where local activists are pressuring officials to tear down a 1.4-mile stretch of I-345 in downtown to make room for 245 acres of new development. If it happens, it would be a tremendous win for smart urban development over Eisenhower-era car-centrism.  And the other big news this week is that Talking Headways podcast is now available on Stitcher! So if you're not an iTunes person, you've still got a way to subscribe. But if you are an iTunes person, by all means! Or you can follow the RSS feed. And as always, the comments section is wide open for all the witty comments we should have made but didn't think to.
