The importance of being on the move is increasing every day. Growth on every level (economical, technological and demographical etc.) is the main cause that affects all it touches.  Being on the move isn’t necessarily an issue, but when it turns into haste and rushing people tend to forget the importance of the place they pass by. Urban junctions or cities are places where you will find rushing and the on-the-go mentality the most. If you zoom in on a city you will see that the central distric is the hot spot, which in a way looks like a beehive, with the (central) train station as its main entrance. People get off the train, enter the city, spend their money and leave. You can’t actually blame the people, but you can blame the structural development of the city. The superficiality that comes with being on the move damages the character of a city. Nowadays city centres aren’t making any mutual concessions with the commercial influences of shops; shopping tends to take over the overall character of a city.
