We are in the midst of a profound conversation about the future of cities. Unprecedented population growth presents enormous challenges, but also offers unique opportunities for designers. In this issue of Dialogue, we focus on the lifestyle sector and explore the role of convergence, experience, and placemaking in reshaping cities around the world.
