  • Making Space for Care: Reflections from the BK Feminist Week

    Making Space for Care: Reflections from the BK Feminist Week
    2025/06/26

    What does it mean to build a system of care inside spaces not built for it? In this episode, we had a conversation with Irene Luque Martin, Emmelot Linssen, Megha Sahu, Jonne van Bunningen and Isabella Jaramillo, five voices from within the university reflecting on the making of the Feminist Week and other actions as an experiment in horizontal leadership, collective organising, and creating care and safe spaces. The episode explores care as a radical practice, the friction of institutional life, and the power of doing things differently together, and highlight key takeaways from the event’s impact so that you can also take it further wherever it is your sphere of action.


    This episode is dedicated to the BK Feminist Week, an event held between the 3rd and the 7th of March 2025 at TU Delft. The week was planned with lectures, workshops, and events to generate discussions, and the assembly's internal events to give space for the organisational team and “the village” to discuss ways of organising for the near future. The theme of the week this year was called Pasts, Present and Futures as a way to understand the plurality of stories from the past, to converge all together in the present at the faculty, but also to build desires and ideas for the future.

  • Just City in Kenia: a conversation with Titus Kaloki

    Just City in Kenia: a conversation with Titus Kaloki
    2023/11/29

    Roberto Rocco and Hugo Lopez interview Titus Kaloki on addressing spatial justice through inclusive urban planning. The episode has three main topics: (1) Smart City vs Just City, (2) The idea of transformative change-making, and (3) the work for a socially just public transport.


    Titus Kaloki is Programme Coordinator at FES _the Friedrich Ebert Stitftung for Social Democracy_ Kenya Office, where he leads the Just City programme, which engages the concept of a social and inclusive just city to facilitate innovative discussions among political decision makers, civil society representatives and others on issues such as affordable housing, fair and clean public transport, and meaningful civic engagement in urban spaces.


    FES is the oldest political foundation in Germany with a rich tradition in social democracy dating back to its birth in 1925. The foundation owes its formation and its mission to the political legacy of its namesake Friedrich Ebert, the first democratically elected German President. The work of FES focuses on the core ideas and values of social democracy – freedom, justice and solidarity. FES is a non-profit institution that organises their work autonomously and independently.

  • "Housing as a Human Right" with Leilani Farha

    "Housing as a Human Right" with Leilani Farha
    2022/10/24
    Today we have with us Leilani Farha, speaking to us from Canada. Leilani was UN special rapporteur for the right to housing and is now director of SHIFT, a large NGO based in Canada that fights for and promotes the right to dignified housing. Leilani will talk more about the SHIFT, but it is important to highlight their philosophy. In their own words: “THE SHIFT recognizes housing as a human right, not a commodity or an extractive industry. The Shift restores the understanding of housing as home, challenging the ways financial actors undermine the right to housing. Using a human rights framework, The Shift provokes action to end homelessness, unaffordability, and evictions globally”. https://www.make-the-shift.org

  • Roberto Rocco on "Just Governance"

    Roberto Rocco on "Just Governance"
    2022/10/24

    This session addresses the concept of governance and how planners and designers can use the concept to plan better, more inclusive cities. Frequently, in discussions about urban development and urban planning, you’ll hear the word “governance.” You will probably wonder what “governance” is and how it is different from “government.” The “government” is an imprecise shortcut we use to refer to the public sector, or the ensemble of levels and branches of government with all their departments, divisions, authorities, and so on. Countries and cities have governments, but the way they are “governed” includes much more than formal governments. “In empirical terms, governance refers to a shift in public organization since the 1980s. The world of government has changed. Increasingly governments rely on private and voluntary sector actors to manage and deliver services. The State enters contracts with other organizations, for example, to manage prisons and to provide training to the unemployed. The state forms partnerships with other organizations, for example, to build roads and rail lines and to deliver humanitarian aid. Whereas the government had consisted in no small measure of bureaucratic hierarchies, the new governance gives greater scope to markets and networks.” Bevir (2012)
