Which destination reveals more: a rich city or a busy city?
Movement often reveals what wealth hides.
Travelers often measure cities through visible prosperity, yet movement can be a deeper signal. A wealthy district may display accumulated success, while a busy street reveals how people actually interact, trade, cooperate, and spend time.
A surprising insight is that economic wealth is often stored, but social energy is constantly performed. One tells you what a city has. The other tells you what a city does.
