Ongi Etorri, Welcome, The City Reader is a blog that would like to open different debates about cities where we live in. Cities have experienced and are currently under dramatic transformation processes. Some for the better other perhaps not with such a consensus in their assessment. Therefore, I would try to put forward some of those issues in order to launch a public discussion about them. Welcome to take part on those debates and hope you would find them relevant and estimulating. Kind regards, Ekain Laka.
