The Center for the Future of Places at KTH the Royal Institute of Technology
The Center aims to establish and promote sustainable urban development by shifting the urban discourse from the hardware-objects of the cities (buildings and infrastructure), to the software-spaces of the cities (places and people), in order to advance the importance of creating and maintaining healthy and livable cities on the long run.

The goal is to establish an internationally acknowledged research hub around the concept of public spaces and beyond, within the disciplines of urban planning and urban design, where the main focus is on research and development of an international and inter and multidisciplinary network, transmuting the theory and practice of city-building.

The collaboration is about recording podcast episodes with Professors and PHDs from the Center.
