The common ways of people cope with the overload in the city

1. Allocation of less time to each input
2. Disregard for low priority inputs
3. Redrawing the boundaries in certain social transactions, so the overload system can shift the burden to other parties in the exchange
4. Reception is blocked off, city dwellers blocks inputs by assuming an unfriendly countenance
5. The intensity of inputs is diminished by filtering devices
6. Specialized institutions are created to absorb inputs
7. Disregard the needs, interests, and demands of those whom one does not

I like this reading. It describes the issues of living in cities, such as overload, tempo and pace, social responsibilities, and aspects of urban experiences, in-depth analyzing the city life.
