The DNA of Cities: Season 1
In Season 1 of The DNA of Cities, we began to develop a framework for identifying and understanding what it is that makes each city different. We call this The DNA of Cities. We road-tested these ideas in eleven cities around the world, including Istanbul, Singapore, Vienna, London, Shanghai, Glasgow and New York. We spoke with local experts about their perspectives on what characteristics that city has accumulated over time to make it the city that it is today. With global urban experts, we then analysed why The DNA of Cities might be used, how and by who.
