Throughout time, cities have played a vital role in the development of civilizations. Almost everywhere, the heritage of the past -palaces, places of worship, as well as simple dwellings- testifies to urban planning that respected environment, traditional life styles, to innovative architecture and to abundant artistic wealth. Today, the role of the cities is just as vital. But the relationship between cities and its inhabitants, unchanged for centuries, has undergone a radical transformation.
