520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. A reflection of this apparent contradiction is manifest in the ever more frantic search for surprises which will relieve the boredom of a welfared existence. In parallel with this is is the growing interest in conservation: the desire to retain a foothold upon history, as represented by buildings. The city reflects the paradoxes of human nature, and is often most enjoyable when least consistent. Even in its lowest incarnations, the city seems to satisfy an array of needs, many of which are emotional and beyond articulation. This book is an attempt to explore the different levels upon which the city may offer psychological rewards, with particular emphasis upon that highly specialized reward, the aesthetic response.
