002_the nether-city


Elevated expressway is believed to be a solution to traffic problem as it gets you from one point to the other faster. But the solution has been proved failure. Cars from the city’s periphery can move toward the city center faster while the number of cars at the center, at a particular moment, doesn’t decrease. Moreover, the gigantic size of these superstructures has caused difference in scale comparing to the size of local buildings. As more and more of these structures are, and will be, built, a new uninhabited urban layer is created over existing neighborhoods.
