The People Behind Urban Change - with Kristijan Radojcic

I have to start with an apology. To the guest of this episode, Kristijan Radojcic. After we had this conversation in a wild hotel room with tacky wallpaper in Wroclaw, Poland, the raw version of the recording was sitting unedited on my notebook for much too long.Finally, I am more than happy to share this episode with you, where Kris takes on a deep dive into his childhood in Slovenia and how a trip to Southeast Asia changed everything.If you are around urban EU programmes, you might have bumped into Kris on various occasions as he is working with URBACT, a programme that helps cities to develop an integrated set of actions for sustainable change. He and his family live in Paris.Connect with Kristijan and Johannes on LinkedIn and take a look at URBACT.In this episode:How did growing up in 1980s Ljubljana shape everyday urban life?How do music and architecture intersect in shaping cities and communities?How can encounters beyond Europe reshape ideas of sustainable urbanism?How do European cities learn from each other in practice, not theory?How do paradox economies shape our societies?Why does neighbourhood-level community matter for urban resilience?
