Make it happen - Future Cities Boek

Het boek Future Cities - foto's en verhalen uit de wereldsteden van morgen

De afgelopen jaren reisden fotograaf Yvonne Brandwijk en journalist Stephanie Bakker, voor het Future Cities project naar vijf snelgroeiende wereldsteden. Ze gingen niet naar Mumbai of Shanghai, want dat die booming zijn, is algemeen bekend. Hun fascinatie ging vooral uit naar de nieuwe economische, creatieve en culture beloften; Lima, Kinshasa, Yangon, Medellín en Addis Abeba.
