City Planners

If you could clone one element from another city you’ve visited — a building, a cultural institution, a common street food, etc. — and bring it back to your own hometown, what would it be?

I would not want to see the Eiffel Tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa or the Taj Mahal in any other city. These are not just buildings or monuments they have a history and heritage which are unique to the cities to which they belong.

A cities hustle and bustle, the culture, the food and festivals are unique features. The are the essence, the life of the city and cannot be cloned.

There is a new trend of cloning that is prevalent today. People want to clone products, replicate model cities, clone animals, convert people to their beliefs and so on. What they forget is that variety is the spice of life.

Would life be interesting if there is nothing new, and everywhere you look you see your clone?
