Ikea Urbanism
By IKEA is proposing to build an entire neighborhood in east London.
It’s hard to see what could go wrong with giving this kind of control to a company whose success is based upon yuppie faddism, with a bad labor record, and stores with a conformist design. If there’s anything modern city dwellers desire, it’s monotony…
Not to mention, if the neighborhood is anything like the stores, you’ll enter and then have to wind around a bunch of curvy lanes for 3 hours before finding the damn exit.
Note: My favorite trend among liberals is to watch them justify the exploitation of labor by companies whose products they like. I am getting very excited about the development of this comment thread.
