The absurdity of discussing "Rome and the Colonial City: Rethinking the Grid" is beyond infuriating! Are we really going to sit here and pretend that the colonial grid system is something to be admired or rethought? This is a glaring example of how history is sanitized and repackaged, ignoring the brutal realities of colonialism. The grid was never a symbol of progress; it was a tool of oppression, displacement, and control over indigenous populations. We need to stop romanticizing these structures and start holding ourselves accountable for the legacies they represent. Enough with the revisionist narratives—it's time to confront the uncomfortable truths of our urban landscapes! #Colonialism #UrbanHistory #SocialJustice #RethinkingTheGrid #
