Million-Dollar View: Images of Urban Transformation

How does urban transformation transform the city, and into what? What is the landscape that urban transformation creates? Both metaphorically, what kind of landscape: What kind of spatial arrangement, what kind of fabric of social relations, what kind of class-societal texture?
