Typical Summer Affair in the City

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.
