Cities are about
movement. Parmenides and Heraclitus. If Heraclitus is true he must of necessity
be untrue.
If you were to
conceptualise the movement within a city it would be like the smoke of an atom
bomb: a mushroom, with a column of smoke pouring into a centre and then
bellowing out in a large spiral
When you read Ann
Norton’s attempt to describe population movement in her Shanty towns and
scyscrapers the first thing one notices is how immensely complex this movement
is.
