CITY

There’s a reason people borrow from the language of anatomy to describe a city: the daily pace of life is its pulse; the thoroughfares its vital arteries; the neighborhoods its heart, each with its own unique beat. Cities are living—always moving, always growing, always evolving. And, yet, despite the constant change, they have a fundamental character that defines them—and, in turn, shapes the people who live there, too. It’s a symbiotic relationship, and everyone has a role to play.
