Folge 05: Cities and the Threats to Citizenship

Humans like to mingle, so for thousands of years we build our
cities around public spaces, also known as markets. Where people
meet civilization is born and altered, friendships but also
revolutions can develop in these places. So these squares with
high visibility and foot traffic are sought after by humans,
corporations and governments alike but for very different
reasons. By handing over those places to corporations we might
loose some of our rights. Do we want that? In this podcast
episode with Historian and writer Leo Hollis we explore cities
and public squares and ask what we as a civilization gain from
them and why they are under threat now. Guest: Leo Hollis
