MEGASTRUCTURE (continued)
Cities have expanded outwards from the center in planned construction thrusts. And with technological progress allowing for ever higher structures to be erected, the tallest buildings stand at the very edge of the city, such that the built environment closes with a show of force. There is no gradual transition; there is no suburban state to the socialist city, where in absence of free enterprise sprawling was impossible. At the urban zone's outer limits, the landscape alters abruptly and radically.
