香港一貫被視為資本主義掛帥的國際大都會，都市重建、地產炒賣推陳出新，大街小巷在彈指間面目全非。城市所承載的個人及集體記憶無跡可尋，升斗市民的生活空間亦被壓榨。在這急速發展的城市藍圖下，《城市日記》的編寫團隊走訪草根，輯錄了18個街坊鄰里的生活故事，印證他們捍衛社區自主及文化承傳的實踐。他/她們堅持推動城市走可持續道路，身體力行地宣告將來的生活，與我們今天的社會、文化及環境深深相連，層層緊扣。《城市日記》記錄的，是一羣不凡的人如何努力不懈，靜靜地建構一個不枉此生的生活。本書以中英雙語撰寫，鼓勵讀者代入他人視角，想像出多元社會、永續未來的方案。我們深信，人的信念和行動是造就可持續生活的關鍵。星星之火，未嘗不可燎原。
Hong Kong is often seen as a capitalist haven, with urban renewal and real estate speculation happening every day. The city devours all traces of personal or collective memory, and the ordinary people lacks living space. It is in this context that Urban Diary has interviewed the grassroots and the ordinary, documenting their experiments in community preservation and cultural inheritance. Readers are encouraged to imagine different proposals for a sustainable future. Urban Diary believes that action and participation are keys to a sustainable way of life.
