Cannibal City

Disturbing description of this therm introduced by a stunning Flickr group:
 «Cannibal city starts like a small cancerous growth and soon takes over the whole urban body of the city, suffocates it and devours it from within.

 Cannibal city is headless, is heartless. It has no rules and no imagination other than the rule of Money, of the Arbitrary, of the Obnoxious.

 Cannibal city devours its children, treats its denizens like second-hand citizens, defecates on the doorstep, urinates in public places, defaces the buildings, demolishes the monuments, destroys the Memory. Cannibal City's Constitution is the Pre-Programmed Amnesia.

 Cannibal City is the place where the strongest and the meanest rule with complete disregard for the Downtrodden, for Civilization, disregard for Culture, for History, for Memory, disregard for the Sacred, for the Spiritual, for Humanity. The de facto rulers of the great Game change the rules as they go along in order to stay in power for ever for so long as it suits them.

 Do you live in Cannibal City, or in a part of your city which gradually is cannibalised, it is getting rid of its trees and public spaces to replace them by brutalist concrete or steel and glass soul-less structures?»
