Designing a Global City for Global Citizens
No man is an island, and nowhere is this more
accurate than in the bustling urban metropolises
we inhabit. People have been moving to and living
in cities since 7500 BC and yet we still feel that
moving to the big city is an anxiety-inducing,
modern idea. Saskia Sassen is an expert on
migration, and in this session she explores just
how far we’ve come in terms of urban migration,
and what a truly global city would look like.
