An effort from all fronts: public authorities, private companies and users is necessary
Good news!: tackling these #10UrbanFronts is possible for cities. Far from meaning less quality of life, improving the #SocialFunction of cities leads to faster, cheaper, fairer and more sustainable urban solutions. Let's do it! ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏼✊🏽✊
