  6. We humans have no natural predator you might say but that is not true: there is one.

    It kills millions of humans every year; about one every 30 seconds.

    It's a major contributor to a global conspiracy to destroy as much of the environment that humans require to survive as possible; to kill even more humans at an accelerating pace and make the survivors miserable.

    Even without its co-conspirators it's capable of turning entire bustling cities into places unfit for humans.
    Humans now plan their cities specifically with this predator in mind; building some defences but with ultimately little success at curbing its free roam.

    Worst yet: It has successfully fooled humans into thinking they are dependent on it when in fact the opposite is the case.

    It's a predator that we have created ourselves:

    The car.

    The triangular relationship of economies, religion, and urbanity will be approached from different disciplinary perspectives and across historical epochs and regions to come to a more complex understanding of cities in global history.

  8. #podcast
    On our international workshop "Making New Faith In/Visible"
    We examined how religious groups, particularly new or emerging ones, make themselves seen or unseen in the public #space and how external forces shape their presence in #cities | This dynamic interplay between #religion and #urbanity, where faith traditions either assert their presence or strategically conceal it, was a key theme.

  9. I'm a bit late but I just watched "Why We Can’t Build Better Cities" by #philosophytube (feat. @notjustbikes ranting on #suburbia) which is actually a bait-and-switch into an extremely insightful talk about the (IMHO) greatest challenge our society faces today.

    If you at all care about improving the world we live in, I can highly recommend watching this video.
