Kurt Iveson & Amanda Tattersall - ChangeMakers Chats - People Power in Cities
Episode 28
Monday, 2 November, 2026
In a world of increasing crisis and stress - from global threats like polarisation and climate change to more localised pressures around hosing and cost of living - what does it take for people to make change in the cities that they live?Our host Amanda Tattersall and her colleague Kurt Iveson have been asking this question for many years, conducting long term research in five cities (Cape Town, Austin, Barcelona, Sydney and Hong Hong) and mapping over 1500 examples of social change in cities across the world.The result is a book - People Power in Cities (published by Oxford University Press) - that argues that effective change making is more complicated than relying on a single strategy or single approach. They instead identify a range of strategic dilemmas that people face in cities and a series of strategies that people use to build power to address them.In this chat they unpack what they found, hosted by Vafa Ghazavi also from the University of Sydney.You can buy and find out more about People Power in Cities - here and via Oxford Uni Press (click on the paper back version!).======For more on ChangeMakers check us out:Via our Website - https://changemakerspodcast.org (where you can also sign up to our email list!)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMakersPodcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changemakerspodcast/Threads: https://www.threads.com/@changemakerspodcastBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/changemakerspod.bsky.socialFor more on the books and Amanda’s writing, have a look at:Her latest book Conscious Tribes: thinking differently about making a difference, and her book with Kurt Iveson - People Power in Cities - here and via Oxford Uni Press.Amanda’s website is here https://amandatattersall.com/ - on Medium and SubstackAnd - her much earlier book about coalition building - Power in Coalition and via Cornell Uni PressAmanda is on Socials here:On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandatattersall/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amanda.tattersallInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/amandatattersallBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/amandatattersall.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.com/@amandatattersallTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@amanda.tattersall Hosted on Acast.
