'Only smart people make a city smart'

摘要

Ahmed Aboutaleb has been the mayor of Rotterdam for ten years now. With his Muslim background and his conciliatory role when it comes to prickly issues, Aboutaleb is a sought-after commentator in international media, but an interview with an Italian design magazine is a first for him. In the conversation at Rotterdam City Hall, Aboutaleb comments on Winy Maas's "unusual invitation" to exchange thoughts about the city's future for Domus magazine.
