"The inner city space became a space of conspicuous consumption, celebrating commodities rather than civic values. It became the site of 'spectacle' in which people are reduced from active participants in the appropriation of space to passive spectators. This spectacle diverts attention from the awful poverty of the rest of the city and projects an image of successful dynamism when the reality is that of serious impoverishment and disempowerment. While all that money was pouring into the inner city redevelopment, the rest of the city gained little and in some instances lost much, creating an island of downtown affluence in a sea of decay. The glitter of the inner harbor diverts the gaze from the gathering tragedy of injustice on that other Baltimore, now safely (or so it seems) tucked away in the invisible neighborhoods of despair." David Harvey (1990). "Between Space and Time: Reflections on the Geographical Imagination," Annals of the Association of American Geographers 80(3), p. 422.
