‘The intersection of urban life and nature’

A magazine from magCulture Flatplan graduate Louisa Minter-Kemp, this third issue of Nature Zine is titled ‘Swimmable Cities’ and is dedicated to the blue spaces bringing city dwellers together, from Basel and Berlin to Cape Town and Copenhagen. 

Inside, Chris Romer-Lee, co-founder of the Swimmable Cities initiative reflects on the vital role urban waterways will play in helping cities adapt to the future, eight world-class swimmers fight against sewage in the UK’s rivers through a gruelling 240-kilometre relay swim, and one of two brothers leading the fight to overturn Berlin’s wild swimming ban shares his vision of transforming the Spree Canal into a clean, swimmable place to have a dip. Throughout, peruse cheerful photography of self-proclaimed ‘water rats’ in their element—take a splash!
