"The city is humanity's greatest invention.
A city is not just a place where people live. It's also a place where people pursue their own
personal evolution and try to get the most out of life.
Architects are blessed professionals because, more than anyone else, they possess the means
to transform and re-invent the concept of the city.
Every architect has a good idea for his own city and that of others. UIA will give them the
opportunity to show these ideas, by mobilising architects around the world to create feasible
projects, capable of capturing the imagination of citizens and raising the awareness of their
administrators.
Actions that get the city and its citizens to react. That drive an area in a certain way that it
helps the whole to heal, to improve, to create positive reactions. Chain reactions. Reactions
that intervene to revitalise, to make the body work differently. In cities that succeed in making
this kind of transformation, there is the possibility of a beginning, a rising. That's what makes
a city react. Urban planning is a process that, even at its best, is no longer able produce
immediate change."
