Each of us is a part of the story of the city we live in or stay in for a short period. The phrase “The Story of The City” is a simple word that on first impression has a clear meaning, which often searches for the subject in written literature, not oral literature, and not even in the daily talks and behavior of the city’s people. This can be considered as one of the reasons that city plans usually are not compatible with the real needs of today and the future of many cities. “The Story of The City” project seeks to discover the reality of the city from the people’s narratives. What is added to the city in this way, regardless of the real story of the city, is a piece patched to the main story, not a part of the text or its continuation. The story always offers a unique window into the often-overlooked details beyond the typical tourism perspective and urban planning. Many cities worldwide face similar challenges related to survival, prosperity, comfort, security, sustainability, love, affection, and friendship. This project not only aims to address specific questions about each city but also seeks to shed light on solutions to the urban issues that societies globally encounter. This article talks about the project and shares its initial achievements resulting from the completion of its first case study.

After Tehran, Istanbul, Paris, and Lisbon, the researcher was now in Caldas da Rainha.
The objective is to show that “the person’s relationship with urban space has equal interpretations, dreams, expectations all over the world, a place of sharing, peace, union, and communion of the values that we all aspire to in our relationship with the cities we inhabit”.
The exhibition is on view, until October 28th, at the Malhoa Museum, Bom Gosto store, Cowork Meet, and at the restaurants Cais do Parque, Colectivo, Casa Antero and Bites e Bitates.
