					<description><![CDATA[<p>For Val Sklarov, cities are not built — they are taught.He argues that urban design is not a physical act but a behavioral education system.Buildings, roads, and parks become teachers of discipline, empathy, and interaction. “Architecture is humanity’s slowest teacher.” — Val Sklarov In his framework, real estate is the silent curriculum of civilization. 1️⃣ &#8230;</p>
