The DNA of Istanbul

The DNA of Cities podcast is now embarking on a global voyage of discovery to decode the DNA of 12 cities.

We begin with a fascinating conversation about The DNA of Istanbul. This is the city of three names. The holy city of world religions. The global city that straddles two continents. The city that has been the focal point of vast imperial networks; a former capital that has, rather remarkably, outlived the collapse of more than one empire.
