Urbinary is a dissemination platform – centred around the creation and structuring of a podcast – developed by a diverse team of students, alumni, PhD Candidates and early career researchers from the Department of Architecture and Urban Studies and the Design Department at the Politecnico di Milano. The title Urbinary tries to encapsulate this message by being composed of three main words: dictionary, urban, and ordinary. The combination of these three words helps with the creation of a common understanding of the urban, in a sort of dictionary, for the ordinary aspects of our daily experiences.

Urbinary is a space for inquiry and experimentation, a place to unpack habitual investigative approaches and put them in dialogue with voices and stories traditionally distant from academia. It also serves as a platform for the younger voices of the Department, offering them the opportunity to test and showcase their interests, presenting them to Politecnico as innovative research paths worthy of interest and recognition.
