City Road
Gentrification, renting, land rights, investors, discrimination, homelessness: how do we plan our cities?
Over two weeks, the Community Radio Network will be distributing City Road: stories of cities and urban life from the researchers at the Urban Housing Lab within the School of Architecture, Design and Planning at The University of Sydney.
Over 10 episodes, hear from global experts unpacking the way the smart city conjures up images of driverless cars and automatic coffee machines, to Airbnb's impact on local neighbourhoods.
City Road tackles topics on pets, foreign housing investment, smart cities, population growth, and homelessness with guests from around the world.
Each edition of City Road runs for 25'50.
