for Cities Week is back! This time, we head to Chiang Mai, Thailand—a city where rich traditions meet a thriving creative scene. 🇹🇭 The theme is "Tropical" Urbanism(s) - As cities worldwide experience increasing tropicalization due to climate change, how can we foster comfortable and sustainable urban living? Drawing from Thailand’s indigenous wisdom and everyday practices, we will explore new possibilities for urban design.

For this meet-up, Saman, an architect from Pakistan, shared with us urban insights on Islamabad, Pakistan, focusing on its history and rapid development.
