The New Urban World Journal was started by the International Society of Urban Mission and is now published semi annually by the Urban Shalom Society. This edition is the second part of our series on the City We Need. Inspired by the United Nations' Habitat 3 and the New Urban Agenda, the journal explores themes related to creating city spaces where all can thrive and flourish. Articles include what a safe city looks like; the connection between shalom and cohesive territorial development and the breakdown and restoration of community.
