Cities Transforming<br />

In the first chapter the author explains few cases of environment change like in<br />

situations of disaster, renewal, growth, revolution etc.<br />

In case of these changes people try to preserve or recreate the past as it gives<br />

them a familiarity and a secure sense of future.<br />

People sense the change not only as the physical change but also as a flow of<br />

time. The flow of time is connected to their hopes and memories.<br />

Here a place is explained as a symbol of past, present or future time, as a<br />

image of time in a person’s mind.<br />

<strong>What</strong> time is this place?
