Polemics One thing we have to address before this chapter starts is that, no matter how many problems there are in the current environment, cities themselves are not problems. Instead, cities are the solutions to far bigger problems. Humans in different cultures and locations all forms settlements and cities through out the history, and claim them to be very much necessary in human development. Humans are not getting rid of cities for sure, and also we are not running away from these problems. The goal here is to acknowledge the city problems, to understand them, and then try to solve them.
