Hello and welcome to the Urbanist Monocles program all about the built environment.
I'm your host, Andrew Tuck.
Coming up, the rivers, the system of.
The river can be a sort of ideal connection between the different parts from the north and the south part of the city.
Also, in terms of join the different projects we are working on, we're back.
In Turin in for one of our favourite events on the Urbanist calendar, Utopian Hours.
This year we sent our man in Milan down the road to bring back some of the most exciting conversations and inspiring ideas from the festival, which wrapped up on October 20th.
We explore meanwhile spaces, discuss climate resilient cities and attempt to take a trip down the river too.
Plus plenty more from the Piedmontese capital and beyond.
That's all coming up over the next 30 minutes right here on the Urbanist.
And I'll hand over now to our very own Ed Stocker who sent us this report.
We're happy to be here again.
This is the eighth edition we started seven years ago, actually being this the eighth and it was really like a mini festival.
It was like a bet.
Can we do a festival talking about cities?
Is talking about city interesting.
Cool enough.
So we wanted to do it.
