"the city for the people" is the familiar rallying cry of the reformist architect - but people, exactly That is the question at the heart of Climb, a new variant and thrills? searching for urban exploration that has recently attracted media attention. the dissemination through social media such as Instagram, the stunts to attract attention by design, but why has the cover of the form urban exploration soared to such great heights 
urban exploration has been on the fringes of public consciousness since the mid-00s as a form of punk subculture;? anarchists poking around in the sewer tunnels and ruin proto-pinterest exploration (although unsurprisingly the habit of people breaking into abandoned, closed or normally inaccessible buildings goes back much, much further). How Climb has captured the imagination of the public, however, is a form of public speech :. How it meshes with social media, how groups of companies have tried to market falls, and how these groups interact with the urban environment

Over at the Guardian, ethnographer Bradley Garrett has explored these explorers. Its primary explanation, recognizing the role of social media and politics, is that cities are increasingly designed to simplify the experience and be as friendly as possible - a good thing for many, but anathema to a subset of people he defines as "the search for risk. "He presents it as natural, inevitable that some people will reject the experience organized city on rails and look for a way around the self imposed rules of urban environments. This impulse is not so different from life hacks based city or past phenomena such as flash mobs or urban theater Improv Everywhere -.! Just a harder version of sharp
This explanation of why these groups and individuals make increasingly high level, high-risk stunts draws more concern large on the social impacts of cities "risk aversion". The impact of large-data and new forms of communication will greatly simplify the experiences of cities, but the regimes that choose which areas to make accessible and which areas to let the card run the risk of creating an organized city that eliminates non only the risk, but could define what is or is not accessible for residents. Concerns about the impact of smart cities are much deeper in the architectural community; for example, Rem Koolhaas gave a stern warning to Brussels that the various promoters of Smart Cities "[feed us] cute icons of urban life, integrated with harmless devices, cohering into pleasant diagrams where citizens and businesses are surrounded by increasing circles services that create control bubbles. Why smart cities offer only an improvement? Where is the possibility of transgression? "If these cascades are stimulated by the claustrophobic regulation of modern cities, it seems that fears Koolhaas have symptoms.
looking further, the concerns about the culture of flâneur were based around the same conflict between those seeking risk and those who desire a simplified experience. The flâneur, a concept of the 19th century mean stroller or saunterer, acquired a meaning as a form of outside observer can understand the city through the alienation of collective experience. The point was ostensibly breaking cultural norms - some more flamboyant type would, for example, take a tortoise for a walk - but more importantly, while being seen, they also saw. Observe the collective urban culture without losing individual identity, the flâneur was adopted by some as a model of urban identity, but there was also great suspicion of the idea - Bram Stoker Dracula literally depicted as a loafer, tapping into fears about how they lived almost parasitically off the collective city residents without participating.
For being so out of the collective identity of a city was almost threatening to the bourgeoisie in the late 19th century; it now appears that the bourgeois values of the 21st century are similarly threatened by urban explorers, with reactions more severe by the city authorities for these new loafers, in three dimensions. Arrests for trespassing and mischief have become commonplace, and Garret reports that artists who have exchanged American flags to the Brooklyn Bridge for whites were questioned by the FBI. Whether it is just a slow reaction by the authorities to a new trend or a part of a wider restriction of the movement is impossible to say.
for a long time, architects and planners have sought to broaden participation by simply increasing the amount of data they throw people, and certainly not without success. But that Garret and other rooftoppers and other more urban explorers land-related show, is that it is precisely this model of participation that drives some people to reject others and build their own stories, with potentially dangerous results.
