Yet there is a tension created when the city is driven by capital that must also capture people – whether they are idle tourists, migrants, guest workers, or citizens. The City must re-produce itself in the web of social relations it creates. The Global City does this by structuring of experiences of space so that feelings of the familiar become embedded in acts of consumption and commodification. The capitalist Global City does this by habitually making individuals repeat acts such of standing in front of ATMs punching buttons to obtain money, a repetition that collapses new and novel (spatial) encounters into experiences of known places where familiar narratives are re-enacted.
