NAt a time when cities are facing increasingly complex challenges, from social isolation to the climate crisis, it is essential to rethink their future. What cities do we want to live in in the coming decades? How can we make them healthier, more inclusive and more human? In the first episode of the “Mobi Boom” podcast, civil engineer Paula Teles invites us to reflect on these questions. Recognized for her work in the area of urbanism and for her collaboration with several Portuguese municipalities, the specialist argues that the quality of urban life begins in public space. For her, healthy cities are those that offer thermal comfort, green structure, social spaces and opportunities for autonomy for all generations. The challenge then is to rethink the way we live and plan cities.
