(Ebook) Urban Cages and Domesticated Humans by Dr. Hossein Sadri

In this article, the study assessed the domestication process of humankind within the frame of urbanization and power accumulation. Within this framework, by giving various examples from chicken farms, the study express the author’s opinions on the analogy of the “liberated human beings” in cities and the “free range” chickens on farms. It also explains how a city acts as a human farm. Cities are governed by the ones holding power similar to how farms are ruled by farmers. Humans throughout civilization have lost their right of deciding on their lives and fates against this power as domesticated animals have adapted on farms.It has been necessary to acquiesce in such city environments which are models of life organizations from the Old and the Middle Ages. Settlements have become even more inhumane under modernization and neoliberalization strategies. written by *Dr. Hossein Sadri, Department of Architecture, Girne American University, TurkeyThe study proposes that scientific and technologic advances and developments in science and humanities make it is possible to easily replace the city model of communal life with a better one - one in which people can live freer and happier, in a way that will give more life to the earth and contribute to all life within it.JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY URBAN AFFAIRS (2017) 1(1), 76-84.https://doi.org/10.25034/1761.1(1)76-84
