Our natural mode of living

“The char­ac­ter of a city comes from its peo­ple. And that’s why the best cities are mul­ti­cul­tur­al and cos­mopoli­tan: there’s a unique atmos­phere when peo­ple are con­stant­ly nego­ti­at­ing the dif­fer­ences between cul­tures and lan­guages. I hope what this book shows is how pos­i­tive that is, and how urban­ism isn’t a new thing. It’s our nat­ur­al mode of liv­ing.”

From my inter­view with Vision mag­a­zine about urban­ism, Dubai and my new book, City: A Guide­book for the Urban Age.
