Cities can be designed in many ways and all will influence how we understand them and ourselves. Supporting citizen science and curiosity in the very fabric and design of the city can be done in a number of ways but it seems likely that they have at least one thing in common – it is possible to walk, talk and share ideas among the structures, buildings and places of the city
