From Park Avenue to St Petersburg, from the boulevards of Paris to the medinas of Morocco, city living has many features in common. Events move fast. Crowds throng the streets. A million images, colours and sounds daily bombard the city dweller. There is a sense of being at the commercial, artistic and social heart of things - and the hustle and bustle of the market place is never far away.
