I have always loved lively and crowded cities. From what I can see in the photos, the buildings look very aesthetic and I think this is one of the most important details that make a big city beautiful. I read that hanging shoes on electric wires has many meanings. I have even heard that it is an activity used to emphasize the expectation of rain. I think here, as you said, it was done to mark the territory of the gangs.

I've been very surprised by some of the modern architecture in the Netherlands. Seeing those buildings towering above the older ones, really adds to the aesthetics.
