The Unavoidable Incompleteness of the City

ROBERT A. BEAUREGARD

New School for Social Research, New York

ANNE HAILA

Nordic Institute of Asian Studies, Copenhagen

Drawing on the shrinkage of manufacturing districts, the transformation of waterfronts, the rise of edge cities, and the delocalization and deepening commodification of real property, this article reflects on the "newness" of the contemporary city. It argues for the simultaneous existence of historical continuities and discontinuities and the presence of novel spatial arrangements that originated in enduring trends. The contemporary city is never complete and thus never totally different from its predecessors.
