Ungrounding

"...The surface of the suburb is marked by its various uses. It is inscribed extensively with the signs of the petty bourgeois lifestyle that maintains it: an excess of roads and parking lots, private gardens, fences, sidewalks and tropical plants. The pattern of streets in the settlements/ suburbs is a folded linear structure strung by roads and sidewalks. By designating drive/walk/no-walk areas, channelling movement, designating the different degrees of private and public space the first ten centimetres of the urban ground surface embody most of its operational logic and also its ideology." decolonizingarchitecture..
