European architectural, urban and social transformation from last century up today

 European architectural, urban and social transformation

Having been born in the early 60s of the last century, I have experienced the slow and unstoppable social, urban, architectural transformation up to the present day in Europe. The individual identity of each European country was the main characteristic, but already in the 80s of the last century the profit machine (often motivated by very questionable profits) and the homologation of European countries along the lines of the lifestyle of the United States began to move. Slowly they began to destroy buildings, entire neighborhoods and small local businesses to make room for eco-monsters and large supermarket chains. so the new paranoid and dystopian lifestyle of the great solitudes that cause similar transformations, these empty spaces, have been filled with loud, rude, poorly dressed and ignorant mass tourism, in short, I define them as the new barbarians, who descend like herds of oxen with buses and/or ships, and bring nothing to the local economies except dirt and great annoyance. although some countries have resisted this human transformation in the name of profit often colluded, for example Italy was massacred, Germany and then Austria. All this transformation in the name of homologation and profit has led to an impoverishment of local cultural identities that all devoted themselves to this madness.

Moral of the story, thanks to human activities and natural cycles, we find ourselves not only without small businesses with cold and anonymous premises, filled with waves of barbarians, but having to face, willingly or unwillingly, other transformations in order to survive and restore a fair economic/social balance, leaving aside the aspect of profit, managing degrowth, and implementing policies of reconversion to the primary state of the economic/financial/social fabrics of the European People………..

all ideas and proposals can be implemented as long as they have the right infrastructure and balance (see e-car for example) without however falling, as always happens to bureaucrats/politicians, into the foolish and obtuse intransigence of ideological fundamentalism.
