Homogenisation and Fragmentation
10.5.14
"Another threat: the planetarization of the urban ...This worldwide expansion entails
the major risk that space will be homogenized and that diversities will be annihilated. But
homogenization is accompanied by fragmentation. Space is divided into plots that can be
bought and sold. Their prices depend on a hierarchy. In this way, even as it is homogenized,
social space is also fragmented among spaces of work, leisure, material production, and
diverse services."
