Racial Equity & the City - Experiences of people of colour in London’ A series recorded as part of a research project, exploring the relationship between the built environment and racial equity, through the eyes of community members in Newham and Thamesmead. Recorded as a live radio discussion, these conversations bring to light some of the lived experiences of communities of colour in London, with the aim to encourage dialogue and action towards anti-racist city-making.

The project is funded by Arup with participatory research conducted by Arup in collaboration with Decosm, and Social Broadcasts.
