In the first episode of Unaffordables, we explore the forces driving the housing crisis and the growing pressures on urban housing markets. As more people are drawn to cities, demand is increasingly shaped not only by residents, but also by tourism, short-term rentals, and international investment. Is the problem simply a lack of
Archive: Sharing The City With Microbes Jun 2, 2026 30:45 Today we conclude our three-week dive back into Living With Other Species. A series exploring how to plan and live alongside other species in the cities of the future. With todays episode we turn our attention to the smallest and often most overlooked inhabitants of the city: microbes. From the soil beneath our feet to the materials that make up our buildings, microbial life shapes the health and
Archive: 'The City is a Garden' with Anna Aslaug, Skye Jin and Studio Coquille May 26, 2026 58:06 Urban infrastructure does merely mean roads, pipes, and buildings. Soil, water flows, trees, and fungi are infrastructure too. This episode moves away from the idea that gardens belong at the edges of development or appear afterward as cosmetic additions. Instead, it asks whether the city itself can be understood as a form of cultivation: something living, maintained, and ecologically embedded rat

Archive: "Architecture is more than buildings in cities" Apr 29, 2026 12:09 As debates about rural life resurface across Denmark, including in Altinget's highly recommended podcast Aftryk, the countryside is once again being cast as a political battleground. The debate is not new, but it is encouraging to see it begin to move beyond a long-standing assumption: that the countryside mainly matters insofar as it serves the urban environement or the agricultural industry.  It
Archive: Exploring the Future of Danish Architecture Apr 22, 2026 23:18 Many still assume that buildings must excite. They must capture attention, produce images, and offer experiences. Boredom is treated as failure. But this reveals a hidden intuition that human beings need constant stimulation to remain engaged. What if this intuition is wrong? This episode explores that question. It suggests that architecture has become entangled in a psychological economy of atten
