I sometimes imagine time collapsed.
What if possible to catch a glimpse of the city in overlapping, successive moments of occurrence? An amalgamation of the infinite variables which transform the city from day to night, year to year, and back again. For example, a light on in a window in an instant may at the next moment be off. A partially cracked door in place where once stood a solid wall. Each of these and any 'position' of things, in relation to everything else, is constantly shifting and changing our perceptions of experience in the city. If only possible to view all of these instances collapsed in one momentary vision; a single point in time. Although as impossible as it seems the city is never truly the same twice on any given occasion.
So why the unwillingness to change? After all, the city is about change on an infinite scale.
