Urbanism is inherently conflict-driven, as Eve Blau points out in an interview in this issue of ‘MONU’. According to her, because cities are places of power, representation, and contestation, processes of urbanisation involve a certain amount of violence and destruction, which is both positive and negative.

Summary:
Urbanism is inherently conflict-driven, as Eve Blau points out in an interview in this issue of ‘MONU’. According to her, because cities are places of power, representation, and contestation, processes of urbanisation involve a certain amount of violence and destruction, which is both positive and negative. Various authors and perspectives go on to explore this notion in depth. Topics range from the Syrian refugee crisis, where people reshape their places and identities while navigating the complex structures of belonging, to sprawl and emptiness as a chief tool of protection in Australian capital cities and how the youth of Kyiv are returning to life as usual the Ukrainian capital.

Summary:
The importance of the client in shaping our built environment, whether it comes to buildings, neighbourhoods, or entire cities, is not sufficiently included in urban and architectural discourse, and thus largely forgotten, underestimated, and neglected. This issue is dedicated to investigating the topic in depth, to discover clients’ values, objectives, fears, and motivations, and the consequences of all of this for cities and buildings. What kind of design methods should be developed for better partnerships and results? How can communication between clients and designers be advanced? Which projects might never have happened without an ambitious and creative client?

Summary:
This issue opens with an interview with Cassim Shepard in which he talks about creating a better general culture of understanding around architecture, urban design, and urban development issues by using all of the narrative tools we have at our disposal. For instance, collective walks through lost parts of cities, as suggested by Nick Dunn and Dan Dubowitz, or by observing people's stories and involving them in creative processes, depicted in Carolyn Drake's photo-essay. This can even change the urban dynamics, says Kathleen Gmyrek, thereby leading to participatory narratives, while OMA's Inge Goudsmit reminds us that architects are great storytellers, too.

Summary:
This instalment deals with the domestic aspects of cities. Everything related to the human home and habitat, the scale of the house, domestic elements and their processes, people’s own universes, and things usually hidden and private are among the topics of this diverse investigation. In an interview, Andrés Jaque claims that what happens in domestic interiors is very relevant for our societies. Our private domestic spaces are becoming increasingly public, impacted by the Internet’s growing role in the city, from Airbnb to new forms of shared living and working. With contributions by Casco, Herman Hertzberger, Justinien Tribillon, Cookies, Lucía Jalón Oyarzun, and more.
