    This document discusses the transformation of cities from landscapes dominated by production to those focused on consumption. It notes trends like upscaling, demographic replacement, standardization, and a shift to aestheticizing formerly obsolete urban spaces through adaptive reuse and gentrification. These changes are driven by global capital investment, state policies, media portrayals, and consumers' tastes. The document calls for balancing economic growth with preserving cities' authenticities and senses of place over time through public-oriented planning and management of shared urban spaces.
