Growing Cities is a global podcast exploring how capital, policy, infrastructure, and innovation shape the future of cities and the communities that define them.

Hosted from New York by Viviana Addo, the show brings together real estate investors, developers, architects, urban policymakers, infrastructure builders, and community leaders who are actively influencing how cities grow, adapt, and endure. Conversations move beyond theory to examine the real decisions behind development, infrastructure, affordability, sustainability, and long-term urban value.

Growing Cities holds a conviction: the future of cities is not built in boardrooms alone. It is built at the intersection of capital and community, between global markets and local territory, between what investors need and what people deserve. Every episode holds both sides of that conversation.

Host and Executive Producer

Viviana Addo is the host of Growing Cities and the founder of VMCASA S.A.S., a Colombian infrastructure development company originating the Caribbean Corridor Platform — a purpose-built digital infrastructure platform on Colombia's Caribbean coast designed to serve sovereign institutions, multilateral bodies, and hyperscale operators across the Americas and West Africa.

With over thirteen years of institutional experience spanning Goldman Sachs, Cushman and Wakefield, and independent development practice across the United States, Latin America, and West Africa, Viviana works at the intersection of sovereign capital, infrastructure governance, and the connectivity corridors shaping the next decade of digital development.

Growing Cities began as a conversation about how cities grow — the capital, the governance, and the human decisions behind the built environment. It has evolved into a platform for the practitioners, investors, and policymakers who are building the infrastructure that makes that growth possible — not just within cities, but across the corridors that connect them.

Viviana is based in New York.
