Circulations and Metabolism

“The creation of urban space as space of movement of people, commodities, and information radically altered the choreography of the city. Places and spaces became less and less shared, motion devalues or threatens to devalue place; connections are lost, identities reconfigured, and attachments broken down. Yet, at the same time, the accumulation of movement and of capital also signaled an intensified and accelerated accumulation of new urbanized natures, metabolized through the metabolic vehicles that spun intricate networks and conduits.”
