"Visible Cities"
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." — Marcel Proust
See what others miss!
It's the skill behind breakthroughs in art, healthcare, design, entrepreneurship, government, engineering, fashion ...
In 2026, we're using the city as our living lab to build this ability.
Instead of jumping to obvious solutions, we'll learn to see the hidden forces that power daily life: the small rules, unspoken desires, annoying frictions, and genius workarounds that quietly influence what people do and reveal what matters most.
