Cities
All things (sub)urban + towns.
While our directory is only just getting started, this is what we have planned for the theme of Cities:
Despite its name, Cities is not just about large urban centres. It's also about the suburbs, about small towns, villages and rural areas - basically about any physical place where communities live together. We want to help you find out new things about the place you live in. We want you to discover new neighbourhoods and the history of a place. We want to showcase public art, fascinating architecture and the importance of urban design. We want to give you ideas for events to attend to discover your surroundings and for how to connect with your community. And we want to help you find inspiring art and gifts which celebrate the beauty of the places all around you.
