Cities are dynamic places, full of contrast.  Young people, older people, those who are new the community and those who have been there for generations. Those who want things to stay the same and those who want change.  How does a city - whether for branding or planning projects - ever build consensus amongst such a diverse community?

Diversity is what makes our cities great. So how do we embrace that diversity and contrast to create something that is better together. That's what we'll be talking about on today's episode of Eyes on The Street.

Alan Webber, the mayor of Santa Fe, New Mexico and Ryan Short, the founder of CivicBrand discuss the idea of contrast and how cities can embrace contrast and opposing ideas to create something even better.
