Cities shape the world. What happens in cities doesn’t stay in cities. What happens in cities spreads— as the city goes, so goes the broader culture. Think of cities like you think of a factory. What is produced in the factory (city) gets shipped outside the factory and distributed throughout the world. The products shipped by the factory shape life far beyond the walls of the factory. Cities ship and shape. Cities are important because they possess a far greater “shipping” and “shaping” power than any other human settlement, such as a suburban community or a country village.
