Towards a Human City

Abstract

J. F. It means many things, it’s a very broad idea. We can think about the city scale in different ways; it’s not only about size. When we discussed the topic with our partners, many had their own interpretations. We discussed scales of organisation, scales of governance, scales created by digital technology. In spatial terms, it’s about the places where people live, such as their streets and their neighbourhoods. And for example in organisational terms, it’s about how these streets and neighbourhoods connect to each other. In any case, the important thing is that people feel disconnected from the various scales of the city and this is what we want to change. We want to reinvent the city with people.
