"The purple (fully feral) level is viewed as an unstable Hobbesian condition which, if prolonged, will result first in the death of the constituent communities and eventually the city itself. An example of the early effects of this process is evident in cities such as Detroit and St. Louis where neighborhoods have either been abandoned and then bulldozed or used as firebreak corridors to protect the business and tourist districts, respectively."

"Another way in which cities become feral occurs when a state has sovereignty ripped away. This can happen when state authorities are facing an armed insurgency. The example of Fallujah, Iraq, is a case in point." Norton 2010

Examples of criminalized cities include Nuevo Laredo and Ciudad del Este. Such cities are no longer ours (i.e., belonging to sovereign states) but theirs (i.e., belonging to criminal organizations and networks), configured around the illicit economy for their revenue streams."

"There are several ways in which a city may become feral. As noted, one is through rapid, uncoordinated growth and urban hypertrophy. The demands of the expanding metropolis outpace the state’s ability to provide resources. The result is a softening of state controls, followed by a shift to a pattern of diurnal or patchwork sovereignty, and eventually the complete loss of operational state sovereignty over the city." -Norton 2010
