“As the taxi moved, I started checking out all the new buildings and
streets. It was clear that whereas some people had gotten better off,
others were worse off or had simply stagnated. Infrastructure reveals
so much about a place and its culture, politics, and people. The

moves some people forward, some backward, and some to the sides and
the margins. Time also buries some people under the ground.” ― Louis
