		<description><![CDATA[From Mike Davis&#8217;s crucial book (2006) shape of the city: “the cities of the future, rather than being made out of glass and steel as envisioned by earlier generations of Urbanists, are instead largely constructed out of crude brick, straw, recycled plastic, cement blocks, and scrap wood.
