Individual sections include a time-line of global urbanism; a presentation of environmental challenges and futures for contemporary cities; a changing gallery of world cities and a special section on Hangzhou. The general focus of the entire exhibition is on cities as generators of culture, responding to the theme proposed for the Urban Constellation: Better Cities, Better Life. Museoplan is responsible for the design of both the content of the museum and its presentation.
