5. 0.- #PostCrisisChallenge
• In order to focus on the Cultural Citizenship in Europe.
• We need to understand the sources and consequences of the Crisis.
• Indeed, we are not in the Crisis age, we are in the PostCrisis age:
• F. Fukuyama (1992) “The End of the History and the Last Man”
• M. Davis (2000) “Ecology of Fear”
• Z. Bauman (2003) “Cities of Fears, Cities of Hopes”
• U. Beck (2007) “Cosmopolitan Europe”

11. We need a smaller territorial scale to act in these down to earth issues:
≠ Smart Global Cities: For instance, MASDAR (Abu Dabhi).
Imagine life for the citizen of the smart city: you awake in your
sustainably built home, and take your morning shower in
recycled industrial waste water, cost-efficiently heated
overnight.

17. Definition: City-Region
“They are collections of historically authentic and
administrative or politically independent cities
located within a certain proximity,
well connected by infrastructures,
with facilities for daily mobility
between professional and personal life (commuting)
making use of collaborative inter-business linkages
and networks, acting as sole and singular functional
economic areas.”
