CITIES
Cities are thought to have first formed 6,000 years ago in what is now Iraq. By 2050, two-thirds of us will live in them. What does the future hold for our cities? Should we live in dense urban areas with public transit and walkable amenities? In sprawling suburbs created by our infatuation with the car? In high-rises, like those dotting urban districts across China? Is there room for all of it? For this special issue, we sent photographers across the globe to document how cities work – and don’t.
