Rapid technological change is altering how we interact with space, place and time. Vast flows make the new norm nomadic, yet there is a yearning for belonging, distinctiveness and identity. Under these pressures, old systems and certainties are crumbling at escalating speed and a different kind of city is being forged in their wake. The new “Civic City" tries to navigate our shared urban challenges—inequality, environmental distress, urban vitality—and to find ways to reinvent opportunities for connection. In this publication, urban planner Charles Landry, a driving force of the “Creative City" concept, guides readers through this evolving urban landscape and offers inspiration for seizing its potential. | The Civic City in a Nomadic World by Charles Landry, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
