Worldview: Perspectives on Architecture and Urbanism from Around the Globe is a web-based project of the Architectural League that looks at the world’s cities through the eyes of young architects who live and work in them. The project was inaugurated in late 2002 with a report on Caracas, Venezuela, and continued to concentrate on cities often overlooked by the mainstream architectural press.

Each Worldview report was conceived and assembled by an individual or pair of local architects, with contributions from other members of the city’s architecture community. Each report features an interview with the reporting architects, maps and statistical information, and a richly illustrated timeline of the city’s architectural history. Pressing issues in the city’s development are analyzed in illustrated essays and interviews with local architects and planners. Each report also presents a snapshot of the work of ten to fifteen young architecture firms, providing a compelling overview of the issues and ideas that are inspiring young architects around the world.
