the images show that the same lements that were considered at that time vital such as the subways are still on top of planning departments priorities
they show also the trend towards completlt sufficcient communities vertically laid out that is much a diagramatic perspective of urban developments such as burkhalifa in Dubai where a complete mixed use enviroment is carefully designed in a compelling experience
urban renewal may have disappeared in its total vision .But, definitely, its principles of gentrification and social purification are still present with force
