THE CITY AS AN ORGANISM
"The metaphor of the city as organism can be dated back to the early nineteenth century, when the city was seen to be akin to the human body, wherein the circulation of water and air and the removal of waste created a healthy bodily state. Sanitary reformers took this further, wishing to use the mapping of disease as a method for identifying the causes of that disease. Taking a step beyond a medical topography, the mapping of disease sought to diagnose the city’s disorder, a form of ‘anatomical diagnosis of urban circulation and homeostasis’."
