Bjork Christensen and I have joined forces to work on the Just Jerusalem Competition. This is is part of their Jerusalem 2050 Project, an unique visionary and problem-solving project jointly by MIT's Department of Urban Studies & Planning and the Center for International Studies.
Jerusalem is not all that it seams. We call it Jerusalem but it is also known as Al Quds. Claimed by two nations and central to three religions, this is a place of diversity and peace in which contending ideas and citizenries could co-exist in benign, yet creative, ways. Gould this be a more global city?
Possibly. But to not be totally idealistic and ahead of ourselves, we must first think of what new actions are taken now.
