“The cities around the world – explains Mario Kaiser, creator of the initiative, Design Advisor & Project Manager for World Events – are at the center of the international agenda with regard to political, economic, social and environmental aspects. They represent one of the most important challenges of the contemporary world. In fact, today 54% of the global population lives in urban areas and is estimated that by 2050 this percentage will increase until 66% reach. The cities are complex machines and we must take care of it. “
