Global cities as today’s frontiers

stings

“The city is a space that has a little bit of anarchy. If it is completely controlled, if it is completely organized, if everything is clean, if everything is familiar, if everything is routinized, I don’t think you have a city. It is to say also that a lot of densely built-up terrain is not characterized by cityness. It’s dense. It may look slightly urban from a distance. But it is not a city.”
