    Cities are a collection of spaces — and we’re all trying to find a place within them.

    In this podcast series, The City of Edmonton explores what land uses people engage with, seeking to better understand how our plans and policies shape their experiences. It’ll take the conversation out of the recording studio and into the streets and neighbourhoods where the rubber of policy meets the road.

    The episodes are stories of actual people and communities whose lives have been impacted by how we plan our cities, and the hard-won lessons of how we can make Edmonton more equitable for everyone.
