In this presentation, given at the 8th Europe Asia Young Leaders Forum, I was asked to present my thoughts on two questions: 1) How do cities organize communal life and maintain social harmony? 2) What can business contribute to these processes? A presentation that drew on my work in real estate, economic, sustainability, and community, I brought together 5 key areas that I felt a city needed to develop before harmony/ balance could be achieved, and then drew some analysis on where the business community fit within this framework
