how do cities grow?
as an organism with parts that (slow) connect to form a body?
growth (inside or out)
in: personal movement through space, tracks of transportation
processional: p. 105 Trachtenberg
113 Trac. “thickening”
114 nodal points (emptying and filling)
skeleton parts (railroads, roads, transportation, freeways, mail routes?)
personal:
job: trajectory (Biddy Mason, etc)
memory (‘visible residue’, invisible legacies)
personally relevant history/passage through specific landscape (LA), only recorded in memory when it really engages you
p. 153 Hayden
processional, ritualistic
out: grid
116 Trac.
rule of real estate over communal
*118 Trac*
overarching grid “inflicted on the body of the city”
city never a still finished thing (The Republic);
vibrational,
forever a passage.
