Scenario 5: Secret Box Model
Technology is used to increase complexity and make it more difficult for would-be intruders. Shutters, controlled by Haves and their private armies, close off parts of the city at random times and places in order to make the pattern of the city irregular. It will be impossible for anyone to enter the enclaves if they do not know when and where to enter.
Consequence
The city is a seemingly open system with extremely brutal yet subtle, intricate and sophisticated mechanisms of exclusion. The north will become a giant labyrinth leading to the establishment of secret societies, with access codes only made available to private members with a similar mentality and interests; club membership is subject to the strictest scrutiny – the ultimate system of exclusion. The infrastructure will be privatized and lose its status as a universal right of the free citizen.
