Magic of the City

Context Mosaic of Subcultures8 · City Country Fingers3

Problem

Spread every cultural and nightlife offering evenly across a city, and their effect thins out so much that nowhere builds up the density and intensity that makes a great city feel like a great city.

Solution

Deliberately gather the most intense pleasures of the city — its culture, nightlife, and variety — into a few well-connected places, so that real urban density and magic can take hold there.
