The city is choked with construction. Dust and grime are everywhere.
There’s no sight of shade for the street, as cars are parked everywhere there’s space, and trees have been cut back for overhead power lines. No sign of renewables; rooftops are crammed with air conditioning units.
The first five floors of buildings are for parking, if not the rooftops. There are overflowing drains on the street, as storms don’t have the time or place to soak into the ground, and hardscapes predominate all the way up the mountain. Buildings generally have poor services, as construction is not convivial and follows little order.
Still no energy efficiency nor insulation, and buildings are still built with steel-reinforced concrete and poorly built windows.
Spaces between buildings have no priority for people—cars and refuse are the priority in public spaces.
