Citizen One Podcast: Series Trailer

Cities are humanity’s grandest experiment—where ambition, architecture, and technology collide. But what happens when we stop adapting cities to the past and start designing them for the future? Hosted by Douglas Stuart McDaniel—author, innovation veteran, and accidental urbanist—Citizen One explores the forces shaping the cities of tomorrow.Drawing from McDaniel’s experience in urban research at NEOM, Saudi Arabia, and decades spent on nuclear, space, and infrastructure megaprojects, this series goes beyond smart cities to examine the living cities that endure. Inspired by his upcoming book, Citizen One: Our Cities, Ourselves, and Our Uncertain Yet Extraordinary Future (Fast Company Press, Fall 2025), the podcast brings together leading thinkers and innovators to challenge assumptions, explore bold ideas, and redefine urban life.From futuristic cityscapes to the everyday spaces we inhabit, Citizen One is a call to action—rethinking how we build, adapt, and thrive in the urban age. This is Citizen One—where we explore the future of cities, together. This is a public episode.
