Single Purpose Cities

Culture Shock

Available for over a year

The Dubai Sports City is an example of a 'single purpose city' - dedicated to those who love sports or make a living from it. The programme talks to the CEO of the city, and asks how the concept came about. How a new website, BillMonk, claims to keep friendships trouble-free by keeping track of money that you've borrowed or loaned.
