State of the City, by the Greylady's Watch
The Times Magazine gave us a lovely & quite glossy look at contemporary thinking on cities and architecture, planning and development. But more importantly, hidden in the Asia Pacific section, we get a real glimpse of our urban future if we continue to triumph surface over substance. Perhaps we can hear less about all the sexy projects and more about the vapid politics of our urban future. Fuck Dubai. Fuck manufactured realities. These are people.
