URBAN MARGINALIA

This photographic series focuses on overlooked public spaces within the city—spaces whose rise and decline reflect the broader contradictions and dilemmas inherent in the process of urbanization. As cities continually expand outward and upward under the banner of "renewal," older public facilities are rapidly marginalized due to their incompatibility with new economic demands. Their decay is not merely a result of architectural aging, but rather a consequence of shifting urban functions and industrial restructuring.



This phenomenon is not unique to a single city; it is a shared issue across contemporary societies. It reveals a widespread neglect of urban culture and collective memory in the pursuit of modernization and economic growth. Striking a balance between urban development and the preservation of memory is a pressing social question that calls for reflection and resolution.
