Suburbia Image - Sheng Zhao


Wow! Covering sprawl from both the movie's perspective and music's perspective is truly impressive. I guess I will have to match it with picture's perspective.

This shocking image seems quite familiar to most of us. It is suburban sprawl. Roads could be paved narrow and straight, yet suburban developer made it wide and windy like a maze. Big old trees were torn down to have an empty field and then tiny trees were sparsely placed between houses. Back alley is no where to be seen, yet the large double size garage door is visible from any angle. Unless you want to walk with cars, the only way to get to anywhere outside of your house requires a car because side walks do not exist here. There is hardly any way to differentiate your house and somebody else because the only difference is the number next to your door. Unfortunately, this kind of residential life style is still expanding...

We need to bring it to a stop!
