Flux in the CityAuthor: Wesley Lincoln Reibeling
How, do we build cities, plan cities, and study cities and how can we do that equitably? Hosts Wesley Reibeling and Nathaniel Hanula-James create space to explore themes of equitable cities and participatory art practices. We invite leaders, city planners, artists, movers, shakers and everyone in between to share their own experiences in cities, and have frank conversations about creating better futures for all.

The love for the city you live in - FT. Daniel Rotsztain. Flux in the City Episode 3.
Episode 3
Tuesday, 25 April, 2023
In Flux in the City, Nathaniel and Wesley are on a journey to learn about equitable cities and all the wonderful folks who make our cities worthwhile to live in. They interview leaders, movers, shakers, artists and academics to ask hard-hitting (and enjoyable) questions about the City of Toronto. Earlier in 2022, Nathaniel and Wes caught up with Daniel Rotsztain, also known as The Urban Geographer to speak about his "urbanist origin story," and converse about activism, art, geography and The UrbanGeog's great big love for the City of Toronto. We start the episode with the tongue-in-cheek song "Toronto the Good" from 1966 by the Canadian folk band Brothers-in-Law juxtaposing the positive energy we all give the City of Toronto in this episode. Daniel shares how he got known as the Urban Geographer and shares his love of storytelling. We talk about falling in love with the messy urbanism of the city, Toronto's identity, the CN Tower, cormorants and our "hearts of the city" - otherwise known as places of belonging that we find in this weird and complex metropolis! Join us in listening!
