Two bits of content on cities caught my attention last week. BBC’s engaging documentary on Lagos, Nigeria - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00s3bmx - and the Economist’s profile of Portland, USA http://www.economist.com/world/united-states/displaystory.cfm?story_id=15911324
Both paint radically different pictures of modern cities. And both pose the question: what should the modern city look like, feel like, act like. And the answers are not as clear cut as one might assume.
