RE: The City is Us

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I have to be honest here. One of the things I love about where I live is the ease of getting around and not needing to drive more than 15 minutes or so to get from one end of town to the other. Alot has changed with my city from what it was when I was growing up here to what it is now. It has expanded toward the interstate and that has caused some traffic congestion. Not great! But our downtow area is slowly coming back to life since the automobile industry left us late in the last century. My husband and I are mostly home bodies. He is retired and I work for myself at home. We go to the grocery store as early as possible in the morning to get what we need and get back home before the crowds arrive. I can see where technology and development are both a blessing and a curse. How do you keep the culture alive and still have the infrastructure that is necessary?

Thanks for sharing your experience with how your city changes over the years.

I resonate with you. I also do groceries mostly in the morning. I do hate the afternoon rush and the traffic too. With regards to the technology, I find it similar to what you have stated.it brings bliss and a curse alll together.

How do you keep the culture alive and still have the infrastructure that is necessary?

We do have anoual feast that celebrates our culture. With regards to urban spaces, culturally significant sites are protected by zoning laws, but sometimes some bypasses it. With infrastructures, a lot of our building are modern looking concreates aside from the churches and heritage sites.

Although most are modernized, we can still see culturally-inspired elements in the design, but most on the interiors.
