Cities

A city is a living organism whose life is sustained by its people and community. Culture, on the other hand, is formulated within communities as they interact with each other and with their environment. Cities and spaces contribute to the development of culture but are equally shaped by it. This is observed in citizens’ perceptions of the meaning and value of their surrounding space, and how they occupy it.

Moving Cities

Both people and places move. Concepts of home, land and stability are present in both settled and nomadic lifestyles and as such, both can be subject to displacement. This section looks at the intersection of these concepts.

Life of the city

Cities are living organisms that live, grow and die through processes that are strongly linked to the presence and prosperity of culture and heritage within them. This section looks at how cities develop and grow and their link to human movement and spheres of political power.

The market: A showcase of heritage

Markets are at the heart of all trade. They are a melting pot of cultures bringing together producers, users, street-sellers and wealthy traders and all their materials. As such markets are museums of living heritage.

Cities in the Imaginary

Cities exist within us just as we exist in cities. This notion explains how cities continue to exist even if they are no longer physically there through music, art, poetry, stories and in our memories.
