Cyclic Slums
In the face of much of the gendrification (of which I understand I do my part to perpetuate) of New York I can’t help think that one day the up and coming areas we live in will return to poverty. I have many times argued in favour of this idea that the whole thing is cyclic and it will happen many times again as its happened many times before. BLDGBLOG has a post about this exact thing, well, in London though: http://bldgblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/future-slum.html
