Fast Food - architecture

Interesting note on the use of "fast food" used to describe architecture...This one used for China and it's ever expanding housing market, some of which are not built to proper safety standards.

"...the foresight of farmers who installed sophisticated irrigation systems and in part to the arid climate that helps ward off crop disease, the pecan business has been booming in the farmland around Las Cruces."

Food production, climate and infrastructure. No surprise this is working. These are called acequia's in Northern New Mexico...centuries old irrigation canals dug and continually maintained to this day.

Looking at FOOD and the CITY with the greater lense of design, economics, culture...
