Over two thirds of the global population will call a city home by 2050. This growth brings with it some major challenges, and some big opportunities. From transport to housing, technology to the environment, there’s a lot to think about.

So what does this mean for us? Will our cities continue to thrive? Or have we seen the end of urbanisation as we know it?

This week, our hosts Ethan and Dara are joined by Simon Bedford, real estate partner, and Jasmine Whitbread, CEO of London First, for our latest big question: are our cities ready for the future?

Tune in to find out:

• Why Jasmine thinks the key to a great city is its people
• Where Dara discovered an urban rainforest
• How Simon believes technology could transform city living
• Where to go to find a Director of the Past.
