Hi,
I am Kei, taking the same class of "Cities and Social differences". I enjoy to read your blog, and through reading, I found 2 interesting points to further discuss. I would like to share with everyone.
Firstly, I agree to your point that the LA metropolitan city can be considered as "organism" which "faces the challenges of maintaining the 'metabolic equilibrium'". As you mentioned, it can be said that city is like a organism which has cells or "groups", and the functioning process is supported with the activity of each group. In other word, if even one group is lacked, the city faces the risk of "maintaining the 'metabolic equilibrium'".
Secondly, you mentioned capitalist idea as one of the notions that emphasize the point that the environment gets differentiated in many means as the society develops. David Harvey said, in his paper, that poor is concentrated into particular area as if it is purposed, and I think this idea further supports your point that capitalist idea activates the debate of "income disparity, race and environmental justice".
I really like to read your blog!
Thanks.
