"... it's often hard to get away from the omnipresent, flat, overhead view in the mapping conversation. There is no coincidence to that as it speaks to human desire to see everything in an attempt to "know" the city.

From a distance, the city can be properly idealized. Of course, this kind of knowledge reduces 'the city' to an abstraction..." - Carlisle
