The podcast “breaking paradigms” is a collaborative effort of Constanze Frech and Sarah Kusché. It focuses on all things spatial planning, especially regarding knowledge transfer and non-European practices and theories. Every 30-minute episode centers around a different topic and should give insights and perspectives on both theory and practice. Our goal is to be educational for those still studying and already in the professional field. We seek to collaborate with experts in their respective fields from all continents and build a platform to exchange niche subjects and start a conversation.

episode 18: Refugee Camps
In this episode we talk about refugee camps as permanent temporary structures and the connected challenges. We tried to look through the scientific lens, and also gained some insight by interviewing two volunteers of SOS Balkanroute, who told us about the current situation in Bosnia.
