The thought of city dwellers as cells to the City organism. The structures and entities that inhabitant said structures, are one of the biggest factors of what makes the City distinguishable. We feed into City pride/legend, and it’s “nutrients” like capitalism and walkability, no matter where it came from or how it tastes.
