CAPITALS of CULTURE Urban centers have a bright future as unique places where people from around the world come together. By LISA KLEIN

BUZZING ATMOSPHERES
CENTERS OF INNOVATION
Would Picasso's paintbrush or Hugo's pen have been a poignant if not in Paris? Are the beats of jazz and hip hop as strong heard outside the streets of New York?
"Cities are vital to culture because they are centers of innovation, creativity and diversity," says Rex Lau, group marketing director for real estate f irm One Global Property Services in Hong Kong. "They bring people from different backgrounds and cultures together, creating a melting pot of ideas and experiences."
Where would the world's tallest building be but Dubai? Could the f ilm masterpieces of director Wong Kar-wai take place anywhere except Hong Kong?
While some see cities as places of commerce where they must live to work, their unique cultures, each one a combination of others yet all its own, are what have long attracted countless people - and the key to their future.
Cities such as these have been at the axis of culture throughout human history-places where people f lock from all over the world to both experience and contribute to the dizzying mix of inf luences in their buzzing atmospheres.
Hong Kong, New York, Paris, Dubai, London, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Shanghai, Rome, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Tokyo, Cape Town, Sydney, Singapore sure, enterprising workers have always come to test their mettle and make their fortunes, but the character of their chosen city is why they stay. Each urban citizen leaves their mark, creating dynamic, energetic places where guaranteed variety is the spice of their life.
06 | LUXURY PORTFOLIO MAGAZINE | Capitals of Culture
METROPOLITAN MUSES Most cities have deep historical and cultural roots that continue to grow alongside the customs of those who come to take part in their uniqueness. It is hard not to be stirred by these vibrant backdrops for daily life, and each city offers its own panoply ways to soak it all up.
"I love the young, eclectic energy of the Lower East Side, with all its lively bars and nice, yet gritty, streets," says Michael KelleyBradford, a real estate agent in Manhattan with Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales and Luxury Portfolio International. "If you go to the Upper East Side, you get more of a ref ined vibe with its museums, f ine dining and luxury shopping!"
Aptly dubbed the City That Never Sleeps, the nightlife is renowned in New York's many neighborhoods. Whether catching a musical on Broadway or hitting up one of the many exclusive clubs in the Meatpacking District, there is never a shortage of entertainment to be had after a day outdoors in the massive Central Park or a meal from Michelin-starred to piled-high deli and global takeout.
Hong Kong is another city f illed with eclectic options, from the new and luxurious to the charmingly timeworn. Browsing traditional shops and markets among the historic buildings in neighborhoods such as Kowloon and Tsim Sha Tsui brings a big dose of Hong Kong heritage, and entertainment districts such as Lan Kwai Fong host young bar-hoppers late into the night. Cantonese cookery is on order across the city, famous for its dim sum, late-night noodle-and- dumpling joints with lines out the door and char siu (roast pork).
07 | LUXURY PORTFOLIO MAGAZINE | Capitals of Culture "Hong Kong is especially known for its food, shopping and our amazing skyline," Mr. Lau says. Dubai's skyline is another that packs an iconic punch, with innovative buildings that are futuristic, yet distinctly Arabian: the Burj Khalifa, the tallest in the world; the sail- shaped Burj Al Arab; the Jumeirah Beach Hotel that resembles one of the sand dunes in the desert beyond the city; and the Palm Jumeirah, the famous man-made archipelago that is an astonishing feat of engineering. "The inf luence of Islamic and Arab culture on its architecture, music, attire, cuisine and lifestyle are very prominent," says Vessela Nedialkova, managing partner of the Dubai-based Savoir Properties. "The city is full of contrasts the glittering skyline made up of skyscrapers so tall they defy imagination to souks with their labyrinth of stalls, bins overf lowing with a rainbow of spices, the scent f illing the air." Dubai, like many global destinations, has attracted new residents with a booming economy while staying true to its heritage. What was once a small f ishing village has become a sprawling metropolis full of
vibrant neighborhoods, record-setting buildings, luxury resorts, thrilling desert adventures and delicious dining," Ms. Nedialkova says.
"It's the capital of the art of living," Ms. Lundgreen says. "Its historical landmarks, its remarkable residential architecture and its unique atmosphere are magic."
People have been drawn to Paris for centuries, not for business, but to be inspired. From the 17th-century philosophers and plays of Molière to the impressionists and dance halls of the Belle Époque, the ever-evolving literary scene to the highfashion masons of the Golden Triangle, the City of Light has never dimmed.
Naturally, millions want to live where the magic is made. People continue to make their way to cultural centers in droves looking for their own inspiration. Newcomers to a city are folded into the mix, adding their own f lavors.
"Paris has a special vibe," says Marie- Hélène Lundgreen, manager of Belles Demeures de France real estate. "It offers everything: history, culture, art, architecture, gastronomy, fashion." In the arts-obsessed French capital, it is no surprise that attending fashion shows and art vernissages, visiting museums and galleries and, of course, designer shopping are favorite pastimes. Later at night there are theater, opera and cabaret performances to be seen. Plus, the people-watching is always on point, with the city's sidewalks lined with cafe chairs facing the streets for maximum views, diners enjoying classic brasserie fare to haute cuisine.
Hong Kong has a long history as a meeting point and major site for trade between East and West, with a "rich blend of Chinese and British inf luences," Mr. Lau says. New York was, and still is, the gateway to the United States and a city where people from all over the world come to join the alluring symphony. "The diversity of New York is what makes it special," Mr. Kelley-Bradford says. "You can hop on the subway or walk down a block and see all types of ethnicity and backgrounds, and it's almost a given that you will hear two or three different languages being spoken."
