About Urbania Magazine
Urbania Magazine is a community of writers,
thinkers, and artists who seek to explore all aspects of our cities through
an ideas-driven inquiry.
It is the conviction of the magazine's
staff that all components of urbania, whether consciously planned or accidental,
can be better understood by contextual analysis across geography, time,
and disciplines.
In this spirit, this magazine is offered
as a way of mapping the apparent chaos and complexity of the urban environment
into order and simplicity. We're trying to figure it all out and pass
the knowledge on to anyone who's interested.
