The project laboratory “Podcast on public space & street design” is an interdisciplinary student project with over 20 students and two tutors producing audio content about public space and other urban topics. Carolin Lichtenstein and Susanne Maaß, tutors in the project, discuss with Christina Camier where the idea for the podcast originated and how the project has since developed.
Whether discussing the ecological, design, or social aspects of public space, we are interested in urban diversity. Each semester we produce several podcast episodes examining public space and urban topics and publish them on SoundCloud and Spotify. So far we’ve published 22 episodes on a wide range of topics, such as rooftop greening, sustainable mobility, insect friendliness, homelessness, advertising in public spaces, and sound art. Our aim is to make information about urban issues as accessible and attractive as possible for different listener groups. We are currently focusing on science communication and are working together with different researchers and research projects at universities in Berlin.
