Scale: reading 2, "The Sky's the Limit" (SkRW2, p41, Developing critical thinking)

What we read

We have now read and checked our understanding of the reading "The Sky's the Limit" (Rogers & Wilkin, p. 41, 2013).

Our response 

Rogers and Wilkin now invite us to respond to the ideas in a critical thinking exercise.

Rogers and Wilkins' questions

Think about the ideas from "The Sky's the Limit" and write a comment to respond to these questions.

  • Why do you think some countries and cities see modern developments as positive and others see them as negative? 
    • It is probably a good idea to give examples in your comments here.
       
  • Why do you think the construction of large buildings is often closely linked to financial disasters? 
    • Is it mere correlation, or is it causation?
