The City

In the last decades, thanks too to the choice of the adult and productive citizen as a parameter of development and change, the city has lost its original characteristics of being a place where to meet and interact. It has given up its public areas, that were essential conditions for meeting and interacting, allowing its courtyards, sidewalks, streets and squares to take on functions linked to the automobile and trade, taking these areas away from its citizens. It refused the characteristic of shared and systematic space, where each part needed the other, to assign defined spaces to functions or different social classes, thus building ghettos areas and privileged areas, thereby emptying the city centers and developing the modern suburbs. The city, modified in this way, has become ugly, dangerous and an unhealthy environment because of atmospheric and acoustic pollution.
