Rad-Ish #012 – Reclaiming Place with Dr. Nourhan Bassam

A conversation with Dr. Nourhan Bassam, feminist urbanist, architect and author of The Gendered City and Women After Dark. From a feminist father to Jane Jacobs we discuss Dr Bassam's journey into exploring how cities fail women. Nourhan makes the case for cities that prioritize the rest and rhythms of humans over machines. Participation and urban design can and should be experimental and iterative. Listen to the episode to learn about how to reclaim space, togetherness and care in our urban environment.
