Transforming Cities



















I really enjoyed the article about transforming cities. The major problem in cities is that they are overpopulated. Historically, cities have always been the centers for industrialization and rarely made to cater to the people that dwell in them. This article hopes to change all that. What I got from it is that yes, cities are for industrialization and other things but it does not have to be exclusive to this. Cities are for people and not the the other way around basically. People can have their cities and still have them be areas of sustainability, where natural resources are protected and conserved. Also, cities can be places where communities are fostered. Cities continue to grow and so do the problems associated with them. But the situation is not hopeless if we all work together.

My slide basically highlights the things about this article that stood out to me.
