Bold ideas. Real places. Powerful stories.

What do you build when the systems around you fall short?

That’s the question guiding Season 2 of Urban Limitrophe — a podcast about the people and places reshaping how we live together. This season, we journey across continents, through cities, and into communities — from Botswana to Nova Scotia, Tunisia to Togo, Greece to Côte d’Ivoire — to explore how everyday people are building more just, creative, and caring urban futures.

From continental water pipelines to post-conflict recovery, from food justice to Community Land Trusts (CLTs), Season 2 dives into the ideas and actions transforming cities across Africa and the diaspora.

We speak with architects, artists, activists, and changemakers — people who are not just imagining what could be, but building it with what they have. They’re growing food in crowded cities. Reclaiming land stolen from Black communities. Designing places of healing after crisis. And reminding us that innovation doesn’t always come in the form of shiny new tech — sometimes, it looks like trust, tradition, or a new way of gathering.

Why a New Season?

Season 2 marks a new chapter for Urban Limitrophe. It’s still rooted in thoughtful storytelling and grounded research — but it’s reaching wider, listening deeper, and connecting across borders more intentionally.

This season was made possible thanks to the support of The Nurubian and the Department of Geography and Planning at the University of Toronto — and the incredible voices who joined us along the way.
