Abstract

This article from the Harvard Advocate explores the concept of folding paper and its limitations. It states that a standard piece of paper can only be folded seven times before it becomes thicker than it is wide. The author uses this idea to metaphorically describe the transition from a standard piece of paper to a cityscape, with references to various urban elements such as doublewides, garage-apartments, and mixed-use zoning. The article concludes by suggesting that as long as the paper is thin enough, there are no limits to how many times it can be folded. The text also touches on the idea of spreading the paper thin and the act of folding it in a graceful dance. [Extracted from the article]
