engines of growth and social integration, cities are
the magnets for more than half the world’s population.
“Understanding Cities” is a five-part public
debate addressing the complexities involved in designing
and running the powerhouses of today’s global
economy. This series will address the most provocative
ideas in city-making, including environmental responsibility
and climate change, social cohesion and the built form
of cities.
