New Songdo City Research Project
“What happens in our cities, simply put, matters more than what happens anywhere else. Cities are the world’s experimental laboratories and thus a metaphor for an uncertain age. They are both the cancer and the foundation of our networked world, both virus and antibody. From climate change to poverty and inequality, cities are the problem—and the solution. Getting cities right might mean the difference between a bright future filled with HafenCitys and Songdos—and a world that looks more like the darkest corners of Karachi and Mumbai. Indeed, Songdo might well be the most prominent signal that we can—and perhaps must—alter the design of life.” Parag Khanna, Senior Fellow at the New America Foundation, America Foundation, Foreign Policy special 2010 issue, “Metropolis Now,” (2010, 128).
