David Harvey interprets the postmodern architecture of the 1980s as the cultural expression of post-fordism and of the crisis of American cities at that time. Introducing two new developments into the discussion on cities and linking them he insists that discourses and cultural practices can not be separated from economic and political processes. The architectonic phenomenon of postmodernism and the economic project of flexible accumulation must be understood together.
