On Road Interchanges and Shopping Malls
What Traveling Types Do
In order to better understand the role of traveling urban types in the social transformations of globalizing cities, this chapter looks at the introduction of road interchanges and shopping malls in the cities of Ouagadougou and Hanoi. Drawing on and extending the literature regarding the educative function of built forms and their affordances, the chapter provides an analysis of the relations between urban forms and subjects in everyday situations. Modernization is a form of morality and power that manifests itself in discourse, practices, and material forms. The chapter specifies the role of traveling urban types in everyday use as both pedagogical and enabling. It looks at the importation of traffic infrastructures and shopping malls in the two cities. The chapter discusses the necessity to further develop a critical cultural analysis of the everyday consequences of the mobility of urban types.
