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.

Closing our mini-series on Waterden Green: Power, Place and Participation, I’m joined by Fenella Griffin, landscape architect, educator, and founding partner at Untitled Practice. This episode dives into what it takes to design spaces that genuinely reflect the lives of teenage girls, not just in principle, but in practice. Fenella speaks with clarity and care about landscape as more than terrain, but as a vehicle for justice, joy, and belonging. Our conversation moves between the personal and the political, uncovering how working with young women as co-creators shaped the design of Waterden Green in powerful ways. It’s a meaningful one for me, too, having seen first-hand how landscape architecture is often undervalued in development, this was a chance to spotlight its transformative potential when led with intention, collaboration, and deep respect for place.
