It dawned on me in the nineties, that cities are a lot like magazines. They exist as a combined product of advertising and editorial material. The advertising space is construction barricades, billboards, bus-shelter posters, subway posters, and street banners, and the editorial space is the buildings. A well-designed city allows the user to navigate both terrains and encourages their peaceful coexistence.
