URBACT Residents of the Future

URBACT Residents of the Future podcast explores how small and medium-sized cities can flip the script on urban depopulation and build vibrant futures. Every week, we visit one of our inspiring partner cities — Šibenik (CRO), Mangualde (POR), Plasencia (ESP), Mantova (ITA), Saint-Quentin (FRA), Trebinje (BIH), Alba Iulia (ROM), Iisalmi (FIN), and Saldus (LAT) — to discover how they’re tackling population decline with creativity, resilience, and unstoppable local spirit. Join us as we talk to the people reimagining their hometowns, redefining their strengths, and building citizen-centric solutions that spark demographic revitalisation and sustainable urban growth. Fresh ideas. Real stories. Cities with drive. Tune in and meet the residents shaping the future.
