How are product life cycles connected to cities? Briefly describe one connection.

Please write a reading response of 1 to 2-page (12-point font, double-spaced) word/PDF documents or other creative formats with an equivalent amount of written or spoken text (e.g., a detailed mind map, blog, video, zine). Reading responses must discuss the current week’s readings. They are not a summary of the texts, but rather a chance to be analytical by bringing the authors into conversation with one another, raising critical questions, connecting the readings to your lifeworld, and exploring thoughts and ideas that arise from the subject matter.

Tips from my instructor:
Be sure to reflect on the readings and bring the authors into conversation with one another.

Readings:
Frosch_StrategiesforManufacturing
Rivoli_T-Shirts
Pandit_InfrastructureEcology
Tyler_EcologicalPlumbing
