Conversations at the Crossroads of Nature, Cities & Culture

The Shape of the World, hosted by Jill Riddell, explores the intricate relationships between cities, nature, and the people who shape them. Each episode sheds light on how humans and other living beings coexist and flourish together on a shared planet. Through conversations with scientists, artists, urban planners, architects, writers, and philosophers, the podcast offers fresh perspectives on the world we live in—and visions for how we might make it better.
