Richard Sennett:"The Open City"
Cities should open up opportunities, connect people to new people, free us from the narrow confines of tradition - in a word, the city should deepen experience. But modern cities work the oppositie way: urban inequality restricts opportunity; spatial segregation isolates people into homogeneous class, racial and ethnic groups; the public spaces of today's cities are not places for political innovation. In his talk, Richard Sennett explore ways to open up the city so that place matters more.
Richard Sennett is a professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics and visiting professor of architecture at Cambridge University
