Katie Falkiner has a note above her desk: "You'll never start a revolution by being dreary." She's woven this approach into her multidisciplinary career that spans writing, systems and city design, and imagining the future of active transport. We had so much fun chatting to Katie about why cycling is both freedom and fun, how sewing is a kind of alchemy, and finding out who she'd name a sandwich after.

    Are You A Charlotte?

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
