Description

Fronts uncovers a growing geography of codependence between the global security complex and the urban morphologies of the developing world which it an increasing number of incriminates. Military training sites, and the true-world informal environments they replicate, provide a lens in which we will better remember the shape of the city to come. Even as the world continues to urbanize, military doctrine has recently and dramatically shifted to view the world’s cities as suspect sites of potential aggression. As nearly all of new urban life will manifest as informal development, the world is now more than ever explicitly divided in two camps – folks who view the informal city as a possibility, and those that view the informal city as a threat.
