Intersectionality and Urban Spaces Exhibit: Urban Limitrophe
“Urban Limitrophe is a Toronto-based podcast exploring the various initiatives happening in cities across the African continent (and occasionally a little closer to home) to creatively solve problems, support their communities, create vibrant urban spaces, and build better cities overall.”
As part of our Intersectionality and Urban Spaces exhibit currently on display at the Coquitlam Public Library (City Centre Branch) until November 30th,2023, we highlighted Alexandra Lambropoulos and her podcast series, Urban Limitrophe.
Every month, listeners can tune in and listen to interviews and guest speakers talking about the meaningful work they do to change the future of their cities. The podcast also provides ways you can get involved to make a difference in their communities and also welcomes you to start something new in yours.
The podcast episodes which include conversations about how justice defenders are using education to defend the defenseless, how cluster is bridging western urban understanding from the Middle East to North Africa and how Black Futures Now Toronto turned local histories into a virtual community centre, offers fresh perspectives from global voices. The episodes, which can be viewed on the Urban Limitrophe website are also accompanied by beautifully designed graphics that capture the energy and creativity of the project.
Urban Limitrophe was founded by Alexandra Lambropoulos, an urban planner, researcher, and consultant living in Toronto, Canada. She is also the co-founder of Untitled Planning, a platform made to simplify and spark discussions around the world of urban planning and geography, bringing clarity and understanding to this vital field that shapes the cities we live in and empower individuals from all walks of life with knowledge about urban planning. Lambropoulos is passionate about the arts, community economic development, the environment, urban planning, and the creative ways they intersect to enhance our cities and support the resilience of our communities.
She has an Honours Bachelor in Human Geography (with a focus in Planning), Urban Studies, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) from the University of Toronto and a Master of Science in Planning at the University of Toronto.
