Cities are humanity’s greatest creation

Cities are the sum of countless small decisions, interactions, and exchanges.

Cities are spaces where public life thrives in the unpredictable rhythms of the street.

Cities are social products: created, contested, and transformed by those who inhabit them.

Cities are living laboratories for cooperation, conflict, and the negotiation of difference.

Cities are places where complexity is not a problem to solve, but a resource to embrace.

Cities are both fragile and resilient, capable of absorbing change while retaining their identity.

Cities are a mirror of our collective values, ambitions, and inequalities.
