(See End Note Three.) One reason for the paucity of original graphic material on functional human settlement patterns is that it is hard to capture images that provided a comprehensive perspective. There are both technical and economic barriers. Some of the technical issues of camera perspective and timing are outlined in the discussion of why television is a disorienting medium in Chapter 2 Box 7 of The Shape of the Future. The economic issues arise because no Agency or Enterprise has an incentive to pay for the creation of images or sequences of images that do not spotlight their product or activity.
