The result of corporate-suburbia city model
|
|
| The effect of the corporate-suburbia city model graphted onto our oldest and largest cities and as the template for new cities has been global in reach and implementation. | ||
| Virtually no new major urban centre has been constructed in the past fifty years that has not been based on the corporate-suburbia model. | ||
| Thousands of square miles of previous wilderness and farmland is now suburbs, stretching in some cases for hundreds of miles to create a Megopolis (such as Los Angeles/San Diego). | ||
| The demand for the public to continue to fund the corporate model of the motor car has pushed many cities into massive debt. Car pollution. | ||
| The one-sided deal has meant that corporations have taken the profits, on the backs of publicly funded infrastructure. People now consider roads as standard infrastructure when in many cases their original purpose is now to promote only one mode of transport. | ||
