Power and the Pope

In this month’s Radar, we dive into the issue of community power - the energy kind! - with Dr Jayne Carrick, before discussing how a new pope (or an AI confession box!) will alter relations between religion, faith and the city with Dr Krzysztof Nawratek.

On our urban radar we also consider:

• The UK government’s Immigration White Paper and the ‘local impacts’ of international student recruitment
• Race and space in Trump’s welcoming of white South African ‘refugees’
• Urbicide in Gaza and its historical antecedents
• Gambling and its urban discontents 
• The urban impacts of deconcentrating central government departments outside London
