"The
new Downtown is designed to ensure a seamless continuum of middle-class
work, consumption, and recreation, insulated from the city's "unsavory"
streets. Ramparts and battlements, reflective glass and elevated
pedways, are tropes in an architectural language warning off the
underclass Other. Although architectural critics are usually blind to
this militarized syntax, urban pariah groups - whether young black men,
poor Latino immigrants, or elderly homeless white females - read the
signs immediately."
- Mike Davis, City of Quartz
