Consumption disseminates this condition homogeneously throughout the country
and throughout society. The town therefore, corresponds to the size of the market
and not to the size of any particular locale.
The places in which the industrial system has completely realized its own ideology
of Planning are the Factory and the Supermarket. Both the Factory
and the Supermarket are optimal urban systems, potentially unlimited, in which
the functions of production and of merchandising information are freely organized
according to a continous plan and are made homogeneous by a system of artificial
ventilation and lighting, without any interference's. An outer image of these
organisms does not exist since the plane of their facades does not indicate
the linguistic structure of the organism but is simply the surface where two
situations in different degrees of integration encounter one another.
