Bird's eye view WTC

From Geography

Michel de Certeau critisesed the geographers who only look at the world as a whole. From a view point of the 110 th floor of a building. He argued that geographers need to be on a more locale scale (Crang, p. 136). He calls it a bird's eye view. Michel Foucault focused to much on power according to de Certeau. De Certeau says that people negotiate about power in doing so. The people with the most power are on the top floor of the big buildings looking down on the streets as a whole.
