Diverse Dialogues The Podcast puts people at the centre of conversations about place, power, and who really gets to shape our cities. Through honest dialogue and bold perspectives, the podcast explores how we can build better, fairer futures. Rooted in real-world practice and grounded in lived experience, the podcast responds to a continued lack of physical spaces and platforms that truly centre diverse voices. Each episode brings together changemakers from across the built environment, designers, developers, policymakers, and community leaders, to reflect on inclusive practice, systemic change, and the future of our cities.
This podcast is for anyone invested in the challenge of creating inclusive, sustainable, and socially just places. Whether you're a developer, commissioner, architect, student, or activist, you'll find real insight and tangible takeaways. Hosted by Kuljeet Sibia, an architect and urban strategist with deep experience across sectors, the podcast explores how design quality, equity, and lived experience intersect in the way we shape and deliver the built environment.
If you care about people, place, and power, and want to rethink how development can serve the many, not just the few, Diverse Dialogues is for you.

Have you ever considered art as a powerful tool to readdress equity in public spaces? In this episode, we’re joined by Hanna Benihoud, an architect-turned-artist whose joyful, intentional public art is reshaping the way we experience our cities. Hanna shares her journey from architecture to establishing her own studio, and how her practice challenges tokenism in co-creation, reframes public art as a fundamental part of regeneration, and sparks dialogue around safety, belonging, and ownership in public spaces. From transforming tunnels and alleyways to spotlighting both the hidden and illuminating lived experiences of women, Hanna’s work sits at the intersection of art, activism, and social value. pushing the boundaries of where architecture ends and art begins.
