More than the sum of buildings, parks and avenues, cities are complex organisms most often viewed in stereotypical and lifeless form through iconic structures such as bridges, towers and monuments. Yet each urban metropolis is a throbbing concatenation of people from a multitude of backgrounds and origins, weaving a cultural tapestry in a continuous state of vibrant transition. What attracts people to these special metropolitan centres is as much cerebral energy as safety or food. Sometimes there is a particular period when a city captures the imagination – Paris in the 50s, London in the 60s, San Francisco in the 70s. These were particular times of social and intellectual fermentation. But great cities have a special quality that transcends these cycles. To explore the magic of these cities one needs to go beyond the bricks and mortar but also beyond rational, explicit and direct reportage.
