T he city never ends infinite ∞ urban scapes
The infinite blanket of urban fabric, covering the rolling topography. The endless flowing sea of houses at the feet of tall buildings standing up trying not to drown. Infinite cities, replacing nature with human nature. The ultimate human embodiment of the eternal human desire to be immortal. Only for it to be replenished and fed by mortal beings keeping it alive at all costs. For the city may be living unhealthy, may get tired, but resists and stays, stays forever, even reviving itself from its ruins.

Infinite in perception, both in size and time. Eternal and farreaching, sprawling far beyond the eyes can see, beyond generations, lifetimes, decades and beyond. The metropolis, it’s organicness is fascinating and it’s many faces intriguing. Facing all directions, everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Looking within, looking without. All those windows, one building towering over another, trying to get a better glimpse at the sun. Everyone has room in the city and it keeps accommodating more and more mortal beings while it itself soars slowly to eternal immortality.

we are urban, we are suburban, we commute and we compute.
its arteries choking and flowing, passing and glowing. the city is here, the city is now, the city is tomorrow, the city is everywhere.
the city swallows, the city nourishes, the city is tame, the city is left to run loose. downtown is a beaming heart, sucking in all the oxygen and breathing out to the suburbs each and every night. the city mutates, the city breeds bad, the city breeds good.
the city
the city is eternal, for it can die and resuscitate, it can readjust and relearn. mortal humans returning to the gravel. eternal cities sprouting and decomposing, always and forever.

T he city never ends infinite ∞ urban scapes
In ‘The city never ends’ infinite urban landscapes are presented, almost like a dream or a animated futuristic city design scenario, for good and for bad. Infinite in perception, both in size and time. Eternal and far-reaching, sprawling far beyond the eyes can see, beyond generations, lifetimes, decades and beyond.
