This site documents ideas, projects, and discussions about cities and urban change, with particular attention to how places evolve over time.
The domain was originally used by the New Cities Foundation, an international organisation active in the 2010s that focused on urban innovation, city leadership, and the future of cities. During that period, the site published research, commentary, and event material that was widely cited by media, academic institutions, and public bodies.
That original organisation no longer operates from this domain.
Today, the site is maintained independently and is not affiliated with any foundation, charity, or organisation operating under the same or similar name. The purpose of the site has shifted from institutional publishing to documentation, analysis, and archival reflection on themes related to cities, places, and urban change.
Some content draws on historical material, public references, or past discussions to provide context. Other content reflects current observations, notes, and interpretations written from an independent perspective. Where older topics or events are referenced, they are presented for informational and contextual purposes only.
This site does not represent any official position, publish policy recommendations, or provide advisory services. It exists as a record of how cities have been discussed, studied, and experienced over time, and how those conversations continue to evolve.
More detail on the background of the site, its current scope, and areas of focus can be found in the related sections.
