In this episode, I talk to Isabel Awad (Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands) about what makes cities such an interesting venue to examine and what they can help us understand.

Isabel is part of the Vital Cities and Citizens network at Erasmus University Rotterdam for which she is project leader of the research team on Inclusive Cities and Diversity. Isabel has been involved in the research programme “(Re)mapping Rotterdam”. In this video, Isabel and her colleague Zouhair Hammana talk with Adel AlBaghdadi, founder of WE Organization, about the mapping exercise used in the course “Communicating (in)equality in the city” at EUR. You can read some of Isabel’s work here and here.
