About chapter 1
This chapter will examine the key ingredients of a livable city and the latest thinking on how to make them better. POLITICO’s specialist policy journalists will — with the help of experts and the Living Cities audience — explore topics including how to ensure affordable housing; how to attract and tame tourism; how to make cities more inclusive; and how to keep culture alive as more work shifts online.
In short: How do we redesign our cities to be more livable?
