This quote says it all...
Dr. Mike Davis, cultural critic and scholar-activist of the 'new urban' futurist genre of writers has long been onto the Fear Problem (before 9/11), and its integration into place, landscape, geography and cities...
He wrote, "My remapping of the urban structure.... It preserves such 'ecological' determinants as income, land value, class and race, but adds a decisive new factor: fear." [excerpt, along with the quote I stuck in the poster with LA in the background, from Davis, M. (n.d.). L.A.'s ecology of fear. Scanscape (www.fiu.edu/~mizrachs/scanscape.html]
