New York, NY
2026
A parenting-meets-urbanism podcast where city kids ask bold questions, experts decode how cities work, and parents learn how to turn daily city life into future-shaping conversations.
On Growing Up City, we’re all about raising urban kids who are curious about cities. On the podcast, we discuss zoning laws and playground politics in the same breath.
In each episode, we begin with a real question or observation from a city kid—about housing, transit, parks, streets, or museums. That question sets the agenda for a conversation with an urban planning, real estate development, or policy expert, who breaks down the issue in clear, kid-friendly terms.
The first series is hosted by Nur Asri, CEO/Principal of Think Place Agency.
Launched Summer 2026, the series is focused on 6 of the biggest questions facing New York City’s little ones.
Why Is Rent So Expensive in Brooklyn?
Why do grown ups keep fighting about streets and bike lanes?
Who Is Domino Park Actually For?
Where are my sidewalk strawberries from?
Why is there so much trash in our neighborhood?
What are those windmills in the ocean?
