Forgotten Urban Histories uncovers the hidden layers of cities — the stories buried beneath pavements, painted over by progress, or lost in the noise of modern life. Each episode reveals how ordinary streets conceal extraordinary tales of innovation, mystery, and the people who shaped the world without ever making the headlines.
