Open City Audio
[Repeated from Thursday 2pm.] Weekly programmes made by Open City. Making architecture and cities more open, accessible and equitable. This week, InterCities: Belgrade with Dubravka Sekulić. Host Owen Hatherley is joined by the author and academic Dubravka Sekulić. Sekulić was born in one of Serbia’s lesser-known cities Niš but today, she’s walking us through the capital of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and current capital of Serbia, Belgrade. As we find out, the history of Belgrade’s built-environment is influenced not only by attempts at constructing a socialist state, but also by its notable role in the Non-Aligned Movement, a forum of 120 countries not formally aligned with or against any major power bloc that sprung up after the Second World War. It’s also been shaped by Energoprojekt, an engineering firm which built an enormous number of projects across Serbia and other non-aligned countries in Africa and Asia in the latter half of the 20th century. Ultimately, we learn it’s the city’s historical and political status as a regional outlier that makes it the complex yet often overlooked place it is today.

The Workplace
NND and guests discuss all aspects of work and workplaces. This week: NND observes London Climate Action Week 2026 in conversation with leadership coach Laura Hartley, founder of The Scintilla Centre who explores the link between the environmental and burnout crises and the underlying narratives of how we work and what to do differently. Through her framework of how to tackle three issues that underpin the current polycrisis - the stories that shape our world (scarcity, shortage, supremacy); the wisdom gap (the distance between our brilliant technologies and our capacity to use them well); and the crisis of relationship (the declining trust in institutions and in each other, the rise of loneliness and the fraying of our relational fabric) – we learn how, through climate co-operation, we can heal a fragmented mindset by developing deep relational skills.

Joining Sofia online from Naples are vocalist and accordion player Marcello Squillante and frame percussionist Antonino Anastasia from the acclaimed Neapolitan nu-folk band Ars Nova Napoli. The ensemble, known for reviving Neapolitan folk, draw from Apulian pizzica, Calabrian tarantella, Neapolitan serenades and Balkan-tinged folk traditions, reimagining the music once heard in alleyways, markets and town squares.
