Expendable city

Archigram gave the notion of an expendable environment in 1963. Foodbags, paper tissues, wrappers,etc, so many things about which we doesn't have to think became the first generation of expendables. "We throw them away almost as soon as we acquire them."

The expendable city is the product of a sophisticated consumer society, rather than a stagnant (in the end, declining) city.
