Cement-tile artisans use colorful pigments to form hundreds of designs. The tiles have been popular for nearly 200 years as a beautiful and affordable building material, but today, they can cost over 10 times as much as some ceramic subway tiles.

And even when he wants to stroll, he can’t - others will literally run over him. In this city, time is a luxury comparable in value to living space.
