Access to the city by new citizens is instrumental to economic cycles but the latter does not seem interested in dealing with fast and dramatic urbanization. With regards to the demands of global competition, I believe these are highly tainted by distorted views of human relationships and society, whereby with the case of city design, it is often bound to sinister interests and short term perspectives. I find it interesting to see how certain problems posed by contemporary urban dynamics can be solved with more logical design associated to small scale design. Architecture is one of the most exciting disciplines, where humanistic and scientific expertise still manage to live together, despite the extreme demand for specialization of our times.
