Every year another 2,000,000 people in East Asia go to live in cities. Over half the world now lives in urban spaces. The UK needs to build another 3,000,000 homes by 2020. How can we make these cities places where global citizens can thrive?

Discover how to get involved in a range of partnerships between the UK, Europe and Asia which are developing the essential feature of creative cities: openness, cultural diversity, great design, dynamic leadership at many levels, creative entrepreneurship, transformed public spaces and artistic re-imaginings of how our cities could be.
