CityScapes – Tales from the Invisible City



The CityScapes Blog is a platform for selected young bloggers from Auckland, Bangkok, Berlin, Hanoi, Istanbul, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Prague, Saigon, Singapore, and Sydney. In each of these cities, teams of three bloggers upload texts, photos, and multimedia, responding individually to a collective impetus on a monthly basis. Step by step, they are creating a kaleidoscope of impressions, opinions, ideas and… plain fun.
