<The Urban Visionary>

In these days, lots of countries became urbanization. Urbanization means that majority of people live in city. And that city is called as megacity. The urban planner Richard Wurman was curious about why people live in city intensively. So he investigated many cities and founded a project called 19.20.21. This project contain meanings that on 19 cities that are regarded as being more than 20 million people in 21st century. He did not just focus on one city but many other cities, because it is important to look at the relationship between cities. For example, he looked at Paris which is very fascinating city to all over the world. Like this, he investigated other ten largest countries too. Then he figured out whether the city can prosper everlastingly. The answer is no. because the idea that seems perfect is just for that moment. Furthermore, he searched the cities that are ruined because of architects, such as Bilbao. But even though it does not look entirely wonderful, it may help improve the fabric of the city.
