The Future City


Welcome to Your Future City!

In the Future City Podcast, we speak with extraordinary people you normally wouldn’t hear from about the future of cities. From cocktail artists to urban planners, green thumbs to financial analysts, we share stories about how these creative thinkers and doers are shaping the cities you live in.

Obviously, the views expressed here are our own not those of our employers.

What happens when there is no more water? On this episode of The Future City podcast, we speak with Professor Sarah Bell. Sarah is a Chartered Engineer, Fellow of the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management and Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers who has worked across a number of cities on their water issues. Sarah speaks with us about our complex yet simple relationship to water, why engineers need to roll-up their sleeves and get involved with water users when designing water systems and how we can no longer just turn on the tap. 

Professor Sarah Bell is the City of Melbourne Chair in Urban Resilience and Innovation at University of Melbourne. Prior to this, Professor Bell was the Steering Committee member, and Co-Director of the University College London’s Urban Laboratory as well as Director of the UCL Engineering Exchange.
