Community is mostly depicted as a unifying tool that brings a sense of belonging, but does it also act as the root of urban conflict by defining who is an outsider?
Through the use of AI, the text Cites or Urbanization? by David Harvey1 was reimagined as a part of a political discourse and represented by an intervened landscape. The resulting image corresponds to an alteration of a picture of Brondby Garden in Denmark, intervened to increase its housing density and remove the connections to the exterior. It is an exaggeration of urban landscapes that are based on gated housing projects and represents how the creation of community also implies the demarcation of the non-members.
