Vishaan Chakrabarti: Give the cities back to the people
In this episode of the Common Futures Series, Vishaan Chakrabarti talks about how last century impacted on cities, in a way that they were created for cars not for people. This century's challenge is to give the cities back to the people, by creating new solutions using new technologies that can make cities more sustainable. Vishaan Chakrabarti is the founder and creative director of Practice for Architecture and Urbanism (PAU). He is the author of A Country of Cities: A Manifesto for an Urban America, published in 2013. Chakrabarti is currently on leave from his tenured faculty position at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), where he served as the William W. Wurster Dean of the College of Environmental Design. After the tragic events of 9/11, he was appointed to be the planning director for Manhattan. In this position he collaborated on the nowrealised efforts to save the High Line and revitalise the World Trade Center site. He serves on the boards of the Architectural League of New York, the Regional Planning Association, the Norman Foster Foundation and The World Around You. Common Futures is a new series of podcasts produced by the Norman Foster Foundation that aim to empower our community to make positive change as a platform for people around the world to share and hear inspirational stories and ideas that will shape the future. www.normanfosterfoundation.org

Weronika Zdziarska: addressing women’s perception of safety and freedom in cities by design
This episode of Common Futures features the winner of the 2021 RIBA Norman Foster Foundation Travelling Scholarship, Weronika Zdziarska, from the Politecnico di Milano, Italy. Zdziarska explains that this project will evaluate previous interventions carried out by international, regional and local organisations in South America, to improve the safety of women in cities. Five cities have been selected for evaluation, each representing different attitudes and responses to this area of research: Medellín, Colombia; Quito, Ecuador; Santiago, Chile; Montevideo, Uruguay and Curitiba, Brazil. The proposal seeks to demonstrate the relationships between gender inequality and design, and to outline best practices for building more inclusive cities. Common Futures is a new series of podcasts produced by the Norman Foster Foundation that aim to empower our community to make positive change as a platform for people around the world to share and hear inspirational stories and ideas that will shape the future. www.normanfosterfoundation.org

Kent Larson: Autonomous Communities for a Connected World
Kent Larson is Director of City Science at the MIT Media Lab, with research focused on compact transformable housing, ultralight autonomous mobility systems, sensing and algorithms to recognize and respond to complex human behavior, and advanced modeling, simulation, and tangible interfaces for urban design. Larson’s book, Louis I. Kahn: Unbuilt Masterworks, was selected as one of the Ten Best Books in Architecture 2000 by the New York Times Review of Books. He has founded or cofounded multiple MIT spinoff companies including ORI Living, an architectural robotics company creating systems for dynamically reconfigurable environments. In this podcast, Kent Larson explains the concept of autonomous communities to create the autonomous cities of the future. He also proposes that future architects should be antidisciplinary in order to make the concept of autonomous cities a reality. Common Futures is a new series of podcasts produced by the Norman Foster Foundation that aim to empower our community to make positive change as a platform for people around the world to share and hear inspirational stories and ideas that will shape the future. www.normanfosterfoundation.org
