“Knowledge City, seen as a Collage of Human Knowledge”

“…

In order to connect the Knowledge City concept to the personal level, we reframe the

Knowledge City as:

a milieu which triggers and enables an intensive, ongoing, rich, diverse and complex flow of

Knowledge Moments.

The framework puts each Knowledge Moment at the intersection of People, Place, Process

and Purpose.

…suggestions for future ethnographic studies which explore urban

Knowledge Moments and their role in city transformation programs…”

“Cities exist.
They are living, breathing with the lives of their residents, excited by visitors, and have personas that neither designer, planner, nor psychologist can fully discern. Within cities, there are images of the sublime with the commonplace, texture with object, historical regression with blind progress, the unpredictable with the predicted, and the spectacular with the anonymous. These competing notions are able to coexist, riding a wave of equilibrium.”
