A New Social Contract for Healthy, Safe and Happy Cities for All
This chapter focuses on the social capital of sustainable cities and their capacity for intergenerational and intercultural equity, health and wellbeing, safety and happiness. The 2020 pandemic threatens to scale back years of progress on reducing poverty and inequality and to further weaken social cohesion and increase risks for human health, rising unemployment, widening digital divides, youth disillusionment and urban fragmentation. Fairness constitutes the ultimate criterion for assessing the social architecture of sustainable cities that strive to offer citizens, including the most vulnerable, a fulfilling life and try to equip youth with the best possible start in life.
Social innovations and interactions among diverse people and activities are invaluable assets for cities, schools for respecting difference and collective wellbeing. Cities must seize the moment and promote sustainable investment, health and education services, and employment, as first factors of social integration, followed by housing. They should empower women, youth and aging citizens to reinvent the art of living together, and welcome migrants as part of a universal community. ‘No citizens left outside or behind’ should be the foundation of a new social contract.
