The Grimshaw Podcast is focussed on the City – and those who shape our cities. The podcast presents engaging and insightful interviews with architects, city planners, developers, strategists and change-makers. These conversations take place between international guests and your host, Tim Williams, Grimshaw’s Cities Group Lead. Organised into series which reflect a specific overarching topic or theme, the podcasts examine how are cities are evolving, how they have dealt with unprecedented recent growth and how they will adapt to change and regenerate for a better future. The complexities and issues facing our cities have never been so topical and the podcast showcases ideas, experiences and strategies for a contemporary world.

Series 1, the inaugural Cities Series features such diverse voices as New York’s urban innovator, Jonathan Rose; Sue Lloyd Hurwitz from Mirvac, one of Australia’s biggest and best developers; Dan Labbad of The Crown Estate; the Hon. Rob Stokes, Minister for Planning in NSW Australia in the Berejiklian Government; Wei Yan, President of the Royal Town Planning Institute; Greg Clark of HSBC; Deputy Lord Mayor of Sydney Jess Scully; Lisa Havilah, CEO of the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, The Powerhouse; Lance Jay Brown from the Consortium for Sustainable Urbanization, NY and Selina Mason of Lendlease, London. An impressive and balanced list.

Series 2 presents Culture & The City: culture both high and low and culture as a catalyst for renewal. Some of the featured conversations are with Melih Fereli of Istanbul’s Arter; Tim Jones of the City of London, Cultural Mile and Sara Hamka who founded and directs a wildly popular poetry slam in Western Sydney. Other voices will join this group of thinkers and doers as the series rolls out here.

A Small American City podcast is a project by author Duncan Crary. It aims to re-acquaint listeners with small city life in North America through the voices, stories, history and urban fabric of his home city of Troy, New York. The program features spoken-word essays and intimate conversations with a cast of characters who bring this unusual Hudson River settlement to life. This is not a news program. It is not a talk show. It is a passport into the lives of the people who inhabit a place. You are a welcome eavesdropper. And so at first, you may be unfamiliar with and disoriented by some of the names you hear along the way. We won’t always clarify things for you. But like any newcomer to our town, you will get to know all the players over time, if you keep showing up. So belly up to the bar with us. Put your cell phone in your pocket. Let a different sort of exchange nestle in.
