Deleuze Kritik
Desiring Transportation 1NC
A. Transportation infrastructure striates space by channeling mobility through government-approved conduits of desire. This excludes minorities from the planning process and allows for the segregation of entire communities in the name of efficiency.

Mobility is channelled. It moves along routes and conduits often provided by conduits in space. It does not happen evenly over a continuous space like spilt water flowing over a table top. In Deleuze and Guatarri’s account of nomadology they point out that it is not simply a case of free, mobile nomads challenging the ‘royal science” of fixed division and classification. Mobility itself is ‘channeled’ into acceptable conduits. Smooth space (the space of the nomad) is a field without conduits or channels The State needs to subordinate hydraulic force to conduits, pipes, embankments, which prevent turbulence, which constrain movement to go from one point to another, and space itself to be striated and measured, which makes the fluid depend on the solid, and flows proceed by parallel, laminar layers. The hydraulic model of nomad science and the War Machine, on the other hand, consists in being distributed by turbulence across a smooth space, in producing a movement that holds space and simultaneously affects all of its points, instead of being held by space in a local movement from one specified point to another. (Deleuze and Guattari, 1987, 362). Producing order and predictablility is not simply a matter of fixing in space but of channeling motion – of producing correct mobilities through the designation of routes. Stephen Graham and Simon Marvin have developed the notion of a “tunneling effect” in the contemporary urban landscape (Graham and Marvin, 2001). They show how the time-space of cities is warped by the routing
