Conceived as an auditory journey through contemporary cities, the series explores what metro networks reveal about our cities – from their architecture to how they are used, via public policy, urban economies and collective imaginations.

From Paris to Mexico City, from Washington to Naples, from Seoul to São Paulo, each episode offers a stop in a different city, making the metro a unique vantage point from which to observe how we live, move about and coexist. This event is an opportunity to discover the podcast, before opening up a discussion on the issues it raises: what do transport infrastructures say about our societal choices? What place does the public sphere occupy within it, and how are the concepts of mobility and public space redefined there?

This event, entitled “Is the metro telling the story of our cities?”, hosted by Camille Juza – a radio producer and writer specialising in architecture and urban planning – brings together Dominique Perrault, an internationally renowned architect and urban planner, Antoine Picon, a historian of architecture and technology, and Anne Jarrigeon, an anthropologist working on the practices and imaginaries of mobility, thus bringing together perspectives from architecture, history and anthropology.

Produced by Binge Audio, Station to Station is produced in partnership with the Harvard Graduate School of Design, the Société des grands projets and the Quartus Endowment Fund for Architecture.
