The city is built on superficiality that feels both intimidating and alienating. Buildings rise rapidly, without a sense of grounding and disregard for the basic elements that make life livable and humane. I struggled to put these feelings into words, but this article helped me immensely. Thank you, Professor Duncan, for this piece.
