WhiCbCVCr' ..iomi the sdf-deStrac:don.uJces, this, in broad strokes, is what happenS: A diversified mixture of uses at some place in the city becomes outstandingly popular and sUccessful as a whole. Because of the location's success, which is invariably based on flourishing and magnetic diversity, ardent competition for space in this locality develops. It is taken up in what amounts to the economic equivalent of a fad. The winners in the competition for space will represent only a narrow segment of the many uses that together created success. Whichever one or few uses have emerged as the most profit2ble in " the locality will be repeated and repeated, crowding out and overwhelming less profitable forms of use. If tremendous num- bers of people, attracted by convenience and interest, or charmed by vigor and excitement, choose to live or work in the area, again the winners of the competition will form \..narrow segment of population of users. Since so many want to gk in~ those who get in or stay in will be self-sorted by the expense. Competition based on retail profitability is most apt to deet streets. Competition based on working- or living-space attraction is most apt to affect whole groupings of streets, or even whole districts. Thus, from this process, one or few dominating uses finaMy emerge triumphant. But the triumph is hollow. A most inmcate and successful organism of economic mutual support and social Diutual suppon has been destroyed by the process. From this point on, the locality will gradw.lly be deserted by people using it for purposes other than those that emerged tri- umphant from the competition-because the other purposes are no longer there. Both visually and functionally, the place becomes more monotonous. All the economic disadvanttges of people being spread insufficiently through time of day are likely to fol- low. The locality's suitability even for its predominant USe will gradw.lly decline, as the suitability of downtown MaMattan for manageml offices has declined because of this reason. In time, a place that was once so successful and once the object of such ardent competition, wanes and becomes marginal. . Many streets which have already gone through this process and are at rest in their moribundity can be seen in our cities. Others, / ~ I ~.V. '.oL.' ~l ~l:i ~t ..1" t:~' ~til ~~d ~1 I ~ I I I !
