The city is organised through assemblages of landscapes evolved over a long time, creating distinctive environments and meaningful collaborations of economic actors which makes a productive city. The working landscape is best supported by civic and living environments, the presence of a civic institution distinguishes them, bringing people together in series of networks and interactions that emerge around industries and neighbourhoods to foster stronger social bonds.

The mode of networking and collaborations along with taking advantage of the qualities of fractured sites enabling a good foundation for a substantial at the same time a committed population driven by the contemporary supermarket.
