Episode Notes

As urban landscapes continue to evolve, the world's gaze is fixed on the potential of smart cities. The Smart City Expo World Congress stands as a testament to this interest, connecting global leaders, innovative companies, and forward-thinking organizations. The aim? To collaboratively move cities towards a brighter, more sustainable future. In this episode of the "Redefining Society Podcast" on ITSP Magazine, Marco Ciappelli engages in a riveting conversation with Jennifer Sanders, founder of the North Texas Innovation Alliance. They discuss the intertwining roles of technology, society, and politics in shaping the cities of tomorrow.

While many might nostalgically think of the Jetsons when envisioning the future, the reality of smart cities is far more complex and intertwined with our daily lives. As urban areas house an increasing majority of the world's population, understanding the trajectory of these cities becomes paramount. Jennifer Sanders, with her extensive experience in consulting, innovation alliances, and regional planning, offers valuable insights. She emphasizes the importance of thinking both globally and hyper-locally, underscoring the need for communities to work from the ground up, ensuring a quality of life that resonates with every individual.

As technology continues to redefine the boundaries of our world, this episode sheds light on the balance between individual deep interactions and broader global engagements. It's a balance of hyperlocal focus and global vision, reminding us that every piece is essential in crafting the world we aspire to inhabit.

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan may look like an island of stability in the Middle East. Yet, hundreds of protests take place in the streets of Jordan’s towns and cities every year. What are people protesting? Why does the regime tolerate it? And what is at stake? Join guest host Daniel Neep as he speaks with Dr. Jillian Schwedler about the significance of seemingly mundane popular protests on state and society in Jordan and other misconceptions about Jordan.

Jillian Schwedler, professor of political science at the City University of New York’s Hunter College and the Graduate Center and the author of Protesting Jordan: Geographies of Power and Dissent (Stanford University, 2022). She is also a non-resident fellow at the Crown Center for Middle East Studies at Brandeis University.

Simone Martin-Newberry is a plant person. And the attention she pays to flora has led to her discovery that contrary to what most media would have you believe, nature is everywhere - especially if you're open to finding it.

Simone is naturally curious. She speaks with a deep reverence for the natural world, whether she finds it within the bounds of her longtime city of Chicago or when using her vacation from her full time work as a graphic designer to take trips around the US. Simone has a beautiful blog called “Darker Than Green” where she documents her appreciation for flora with photographs, green city guides, and contemplative writing.
