Urban infrastructure is a gear of political power. Its aim is to conquer the territory of the city and hold dominion over certain city relationships. Public space is more than just a polygon delineated by coordinates, it is a factory of social realities. There would be nothing problematic about this power if it weren’t exclusive. Those who build the city exercise a regulatory power over our mindset and our everyday experience. The rhythms that regulate our hours, "our place" in society and the type of roads we take on our daily commute are manifestations of this control.
===The Funambulist magazine===


Behind urban infrastructure are countless relationships of power as well as a certain repertoire of knowledge, speeches, fashion and images that tend to justify plunder or destruction. Therefore the overpass and throughway turn out to be the material outcome of coalitions between a wide range of ideas, beliefs and relationships, which constitute its true power: they represent the city on the continual path of progress.
==== Weaponized infrastructures ====


This is how planners, partners and administrators end up making public spaces an ideological issue. Progress is no longer a visual representation but a political reality that influences what should or should not take up space in a city. This is an anarchical control - not anarchist - as its order depends on a battle with no rules, in which the winners are those who manage to impose their will and have sufficient strength to repel any resistance. Ultimately, this control wil implode because it systemically denies life and memory their rightful place.

Consequently, those who build the city are the fortunate winners in a cacophonic bidding war. The guidelines are dictated by construction companies that will raise the avenue in spite of public opposition. The end results are cities that are ideal for doing business but not for living.
==== Insurgent architecture ====

The affected parties have no choice but to resign themselves to the inevitable or simply to move out. Progress is hard to dispute although it erases all reference to proper living; the products are dreg-cities, burrs stuck to the production line.

</div>


The panorama viewed form a vantage point is the ultimate expression of authoritarianism. The landscape of the metacity is compromised of staggered mounds of dust. This ugliness cannot be fathomed. It is viewed out of the corner of ones’s eyes but felt throghout one’s entire body. The city is a producer of realities. Sometimes the inhabitants manage to slip past the fence and dance on the worksite. However, arid spaces usually produce equally arid relationships. The city is a plain, opened up on the dissecting table. Few are the surgeon’s advisors. He makes a pretty penny eliminating ludic and fanciful relashionships, but his work is to insert spaces for work and consumerism. There is no place for living because no one takes it into consideration when adding to or eliminating from the space. There is no other path. This is the road you take.

"There is now a need to readdress urban commons through the lens of the digital commons, writes Dubravka Sekulic."

"In fact, the concept of commons entered the digital realm from physical space in order to interpret the type of communities, relationships and production that started to appear with the development of the free as opposed to the proprietary."
