As cities proliferate and become the economic and political centers in countries around the world, they also become the centers of understanding and harmony due to the mixing of cultures, ideas, and lifestyles that come with urban living. Cities are the places of power in the 21st century, and as they grow, they have the power to shape our future. Dr. Robert Muggah, a political economist who studies urban security and development, believes that cities are inherently fragile habitats as they constantly change to accommodate unpredictability, but with preparation and a better understanding of how they can improve our lives, we can take control of our future and overcome these challenges. Join us in this session as Dr. Muggah explores the fragility and resilience of modern urban life.
