In Philadelphia, the streets are being mined for the valuable metal of manhole covers and grates. Thieves can get 5 - 50$ at salvage/recycling yards leaving the streets unsafe and "uncovered".
Value and the streetscape. What do we take for granted as valuable? What is unnoticed in the urban landscape. New York City just realized their trees created a value of $122 million.
Is value in the eye of the beholder? or dependent upon a communities supply and demand? When does a share consensus in value leave things undervalued?
How can the city be valued?
