Heja Framtiden podcast #69: Niklas Maak

The Berlin-based architecture theoretician Niklas Maak is the arts editor at Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and a lecturer at Harvard University. He has written about the urbanization’s many negative consequences, such as land-speculation, dead city centers and fenced luxury residential areas. But he also sees something else in the post-capitalist (and, further down the line, post-work) urban environment – the opportunity of creating dynamic cities where inclusion, empathy and communal co-habitation represent the smartness of the future – not necessarily technology.

We met Niklas Maak before his talk at the conference Arwidsson Talks at A House in Stockholm in April 2019.
