In truth western capitalism must encompass all these notions and more and consequently the site must gain identity – be sufficiently separated and segregated in order to denote place and belonging, offer the capacity of becoming a home, and acknowledge what essentially is a populace inherently proud of its journey and achievement through monumental proportion.
