A Good City Has Industry
Cities are the incubators and the engines of the econ-
omy. We can see the different economic eras in their
architecture and structure. Over the past decades, the
renewal of the European city was accompanied by the
rapid growth of services and knowledge economy. But
in our effort to turn the city into an attractive living and
working environment, we have also driven the industry
out of the city. Productive areas disappear into the
outskirts of the city or to low-wage countries. The city is
turning into a place of consumption, without production.
That is problematic.

connects thinkers and

The city is a place where different people materials from the surroun-
live, stay, meet and interact. If, aside from ding businesses with which
the students can practice.
offices, universities and schools, we can
anchor the industry more firmly on urban
public spaces, we can build an enterpris-
ing and solidary city where thinkers and
manufacturers work together and support
each other.
