Civility, trash talking and more sociable cities
from Future Tense Hosted by Australian Broadcasting Corporation
It certainly feels like a very shouty world. But have we really reached a new low point in civility? And, if so, where to from here? We examine what civility really entails and how it can help foster cooperation but also lead to the submission of minorities. And did you know that even the design of our urban spaces can shape and limit acts of civility? So, how can we make our cities more sociable? Original broadcast on March 23, 2025.
