CITY #3721
TIMELAPSE FILM
2011 • post production
Cities from all over the world are becoming visually similar, homogenized with similar building styles and highway systems. The commonality is development without creative thinking, and a universal goal of low costs and high profits. 
This kind of development increases the distance and disconnect between people. People move faster and faster as development grows faster and faster. 
Eventually, the question raised is whether development provides a better life for citizens, or if it only makes a country’s GDP look better.
世界各地的城市越來越相似,用同樣的建築風格和高速公路系統來實現同質化。這種普遍化的發展是缺乏創意思維的結果,這種發展追求的是低成本和高利潤的普遍目標。
這種發展加大了人與人之間的距離和脫節。隨著發展的加速,人們移動得越來越快。
最終,引發的問題是發展是否為市民提供了更好的生活,或者它只是使一個國家的GDP看起來更好而已。
