A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Urban space as we know it is above all a space created by, and for, economic activities. The type of city we call ‘modern,’ for example New York, London and Shanghai, all typify architectural typologies created for capitalist life-worlds; for example, the skyscraper in New York, or the lane-house community in Shanghai. In the city, vision is concentrated intensely on ways to advance the self, with the commonly acknowledged means of assessment being money itself.
