ABSTRACT
Let’s start with one fundamental truth: cities change. Their economy changes, the socio-cultural landscape in which they exist changes and we are immersed in this permanent flow of multifaceted interdependent change, individually and collectively, to which we contribute and by which we are shaped.
The form of cities changes as well: buildings, plots, street fronts, blocks, streets and districts, each at their own pace. Certain elements do so rather frequently, such as the internal arrangement of furniture in a building; others more slowly and rarely, such as the layout of a street.
