The problem with this belief is that moving onto a future image involves building according to what a select group of architects who practice internationally design for any other city that wants to look like the "future."

So all these cities around the world all end up looking the same. They don't end up possessing a "future image," but a generic one. People like New York because it looks like New York. That "New York look" will always outlive any passing architectural trend.
