Often the city’s environment, encircled by inert–manmade
materials and multifaceted infrastructure, makes us perceive it as rigid,
unyielding, - a somewhat indestructible objects of social organization. However,
at its basic level, urban environs display attributes of an organic nature,
such as; growth, decay, and sometimes regeneration. And the summer months accentuate both the
vulnerability and malleability of our metropolitan environment, given the
variety of project undertaken on infrastructure. Certainly, these interventions
add additional aggravations, in the way of noise and air pollution, not to
mention impediments to vehicular and pedestrian circulation, however, these
are, in most instances, vital component in maintaining this artifact of
civilization we call cities, as functional/well-oiled machines.
