November 5th, as part of the International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam together with journalist and documentary filmmaker Stephanie Bakker, we take an innovative look at emerging global cities. In the book Future Cities, stories behind the statistics of urbanisation and growth, she focuses not on the negative effects of urbanisation, but on the strength of the city. What lurks in the DNA of the city and its inhabitants? How does that come about? And how does it help the city move forward?
