James of Ârc on Building a Global City to Push the Frontier
Episode 80
Thursday, 19 February, 2026
In Episode 80 of the Charter Cities Podcast, Mark Lutter speaks with James of Ârc about building a global city that attracts ambitious people from around the world. James shares Arc’s long-term vision for city building and explains why talent, culture, and community are just as important as infrastructure and capital. They discuss how Arc is building momentum through pop-up cities and partnerships, creating a network of people who are ready to move when the opportunity arises. The conversation explores how new cities can compete with existing global hubs by offering strong governance, economic opportunity, and a high quality of life. They also discuss working with host nations, financing large-scale urban development, and why demonstrating new models of governance and city building may ultimately have the biggest impact beyond the city itself.
