Welcome to the 109th episode of Urbcast, in which we will talk about: “War on Beauty: the Uglification of Sweden.” 🧐
This is the episode which was recorded during the World Urban Forum at the Cities 360 scene. Please be aware that it was recorded live on stage, hence the quality is a bit worse (or just different). I hope you will enjoy the conversation with Fredrik Kullberg - journalist and author of the book War on Beauty: the Uglification of Sweden.
Why should we talk about it?
Can a country like Sweden, famous for its spatial order, face significant problems in its urban fabric? My guest explains that poorly thought-out projects are also present in many Swedish cities. What are those, and how can we save the Allemansrätten?
Why is it worth listening to?
Because Fredrik has been traveling all over Sweden in the search for project that are threatening the Swedish landscape, and well know respect (and access) to the nature called allemansrätten. I hope that by listening you will also want to check the book under the same title.
