“The space created by capital perpetually re-creates its own underworld, its own space of underdevelopment and immobility, and its own wasteland. “
If we consider the articles perceptions and observations of air travel to be true, then what are the implications for the design of cities? In the article she observes that the space allocated to the airport becomes a wasteland because of the noise pollution from aircraft and its distancing from urban centres without appropriate commuting opportunities. How might these conditions be resolved? What are the potential resolutions to this problem?
Boston is resolving some of its transportation issues by burying it under ground. Freeways in LA build huge sound barrier walls integrate them into the city. What are the future conditions of air travel going to be? Is the mitigation or resolution for this problem going to be resolved through technological means or is it going to require the redesigning of cities as space become even more crucial to burgeoning populations? Can we imagine a future of cities built with massive sound deflection panels over communities?
