Garvin begins by arguing that cities are the most important invention of human civilization. They are places where people from different backgrounds come together to live, work, and learn. This diversity of people and ideas is what makes cities so innovative and productive.

Garvin then goes on to discuss the ways in which cities are becoming more interconnected. He argues that the rise of global transportation and communication technologies is making it easier for people to move between cities and to share ideas and innovations. This interconnectedness is leading to a more globalized world, in which cities are playing an increasingly important role.

Finally, Garvin explores the ways in which cities are becoming more sustainable. He argues that cities are becoming more aware of the need to reduce their environmental impact, and are taking steps to do so. These steps include investing in renewable energy, improving public transportation, and making buildings more energy-efficient.

Garvin concludes by arguing that cities are the future of the world. He believes that cities are the places where the challenges of the 21st century will be solved, and where the future of humanity will be shaped.
