Open City Audio: InterCities - 21 May 2026 (Sheffield with Johny Pitts)

Weekly programmes by Open City. Making architecture and cities more open, accessible, and equitable. Today: InterCities – Sheffield with Johny Pitts. In this episode, Owen Hatherley is joined by broadcaster, writer and photographer Johny Pitts. Johny is a Sheffield-native and has witnessed first-hand the huge social and architectural change the city has undergone since the early 1990s. We use photographs from "After the End of History: British Working Class Photography 1989 – 2024" a roving exhibition Johny has curated, to track the cities shifting identity from the so-called Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire to a city where leisure and comfort are the new guiding principles.
