2. “เมื่อแรกคนสร้างเมือง แต่แล ้วเมืองจะสร้างคน”
The urban is where ‘social relations …
project themselves into a space, becoming
inscribed there, and in the process
producing the space itself’
Lefebvre 1991
7. Analysis of case studies
Meguro River over time
Like other urban rivers, the Meguro River is developed a vein-like
plan, in which old road networks and communities remain. These
communities are often severed by new rail roads and highways
radially leading from or circling around central Tokyo.
But old urban spaces and social life are still alive. The Meguro River
basin area now intersects 3 wards, each of which is further
subdivided into smaller communities.
