On Cities: Masterclass Series Vol. 1

This first volume launches the Norman Foster Foundation’s Masterclass Series with a close examination of cities and urbanism today. Following an introduction by Norman Foster, “Cities in Pandemics”, various experts and critics in the field weigh in on a number of themes around the topic, including Urban Equity and Inclusivity, Participation and Community Building, Working and Well-Being, Mobility and Transport, Urban Form and City Behaviour, Sustainability and Urban Resilience, and Urban Morphology. Foster writes that, post-pandemic, our cities could be more beautiful, more desirable, offer more opportunities and be quieter, safer, greener, and simply more fun.
