Urbanists on Bakfiets Talking Cities

Written by Chip Chip

Urbanists on Bakfiets Talking Cities is a video series from urbanist Lior Steinberg that puts city conversations literally in motion. Inspired by Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Steinberg invites fellow urbanists aboard a bakfiets—a Dutch cargo bike—and rides through cities while talking about streets, mobility, public space, and how cities actually work. The moving conversation makes the city itself part of the interview: ideas can be encountered, questioned, and demonstrated as they ride. The series launched with Tactical Urbanism co-founder Mike Lydon exploring Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Challenger Cities is a podcast and publication exploring cities through unconventional—and sometimes accidental—urbanists. Created by Iain Montgomery, it pushes beyond traditional planning, architecture, and policy to talk with interesting people doing interesting things in cities around the world. Its premise is that cities shouldn't spend their energy trying to become somewhere else, but should build on what makes them distinctive—creating places where people genuinely want to live, work, gather, visit, eat, drink, and play.
