- Hello.
-
- Have you heard about Mayor Daley's plan to section off as much of Chicago
- as he can in order to stem crime? He wants to put up fences or concrete
- barriers at the ends of roads to corner criminals and to stop drive-by
- shootings, etc. Other cities have done similar things in certain areas, but
- the Chicago plan is to cordon off the entire city into little chunks.
-
- Now my question is this, is the future of urban design going to be shaped
- by the pressures of crime? (Or is it already, and I'm just too much an
- amateur to know that?)
