A city is more than its skyline. It is also the journey to work, a place to trade, a shaded street and the distance between a home and an essential service. This concept asks how to judge progress from the ground.

What reporting would involve

The story would examine trade-offs, who participates in decisions and what changes for the people already there. This preview contains no asserted research findings.
