You know, I completely agree with Jeanie. Despite the goals of the city to expand, the results seems counterintuitive to what the planet has been far too late to realize. Over-expansion and hyper-growth have and still continue to prove devastating for city’s futures. LA, as wonderful as it may be, has ran away with the concept of the automobile and the American Dream. And now we’ve only realized problems that our future must deal with. jeanirene: I’m sorry but I really dislike this. Despite the time of day, there’s a significant difference in the sky — and it just looks more “clean” 20 years ago. What’s wrong with the green space in the center? Why must we develop upon developments when we can appreciate what is there — not to overshadow the landscape with ridiculous skyscrapers and flashy buildings, but to enhance the natural space and culture. Asians tend to become what they are not…and I just think all of this is pretty sad. kookoo4koo: I CAN’t WAIT TO SEE SHANGHAI!!!!!! Rome wasn’t built in one day…but hell we could build it in 20 if we wanted too… CMON LA PICK IT UP! landscapearchitecture: shanghaitransforming: A difference of 20 years (1990-2010) between both pictures, two different worlds.
