Abstract
In many ways the essence of the city is the supreme coming together for evrything [sic] of it all people come and go it’s all moving the bits and pieces that form the city – they’re expendable it’s all come-go (Peter Cook 1963, 83) The old fixed and static elements that built our cities are becoming increasingly irrelevant … In a transient society, the mobile searchlight pinpointing an automobile sale or a movie premiere is more important than any building; a credit card system more meaningful than a high-rise bank. Urbanism, if it is to mean anything at all, is a fluid matrix of things that do their own thing. In William Burroughs’ words, we must keep our bags packed and ready to move all the time
