making claim to great merit or importance - How would you know they were

city scythed in two by an ugly mass of concrete and traffic-choked highways.
Native beings, choking from the fumes, scurry across tangled steel footways
in the sky. In a subterranean vault in the middle of a concrete traffic
island, litter swirls around the feet of a drunken beggar. A proud Jacobean
gable proclaims "General Soup Kitchen" to nobody in particular
as the ceaseless traffic thunders by. Escape from his nightmare vision
of progress is only possible by urine-soaked alleyways. All hope is lost
in the world known as Central East Motorway. Ghosts of the Royal Arcade
