The monograph Alpha++ Models / rendered lives in global cities portrays the aesthetic of neoliberalism and its political repercussions in the global economic centers amid the jarring dynamic of gleaming tower façades, vast construction sites, cookie-cutter greenspace designs, and neighborhoods threatened by impending demolition and gentrification.
