Hosted by GTA's Alessio Koliulis (MSc Urban Economic Development) and Lilian Schofield (MSc Development Administration & Planning), each episodes will feature a minimum of two of DPU's core academic staff听who will engage in conversation based around a set structure. The episodes听aim听to i) justify and unpack the theme of the episode, ii) explore the framing of thinking and the听key debates within that field and iii) consider the DPU's past, present and future role in contributing to these debates through research, teaching and capacity building.
The first episode launched is on 'Mobility', and features Prof Julio Davila and Dr Daniel Oviedo Hernandez in conversation with听Lilian Schofield. The episode focusses on the challenges of transport planning in cities of the Global South, drawing from their own work in the field.
