Whose culture? Whose city?

"Building a city depends on how people combine the traditional economic factors of land, labor and capital. But it also depends on how they manipulate symbolic languages of exlusion and entitlement. The look and feel of cities reflect decisions about what - and who - should be visible and what should not, on concepts of order and disorder, and on uses of aesthetic power." pg 7. Sharon Zukin (1995) The Culture of Cities.
