Dear Anil,

Yes, you are correct to bring up this issue.

In a modern crowded city, one should instead look at Feng Shui at a macro level.

Here, cities should instead be considered instead as at a micro level. Many cities come under this definition. Where, wealth creation is based on (for the majority) the wealth created within the city.

Thus, it would explan one's puzzlement as to how do we look at Feng Shui of an apartment say which is surrounded by similar apartments or buildings and where streets may be relatively rectangular in shape and cross each other at intersections.

Please see below:-

Overall, as mentioned earlier, for a city, we can consider wealth as overall part of the entire city.

However, if one is luckier, there are sites within a city that are considered more auspicious than other sites. Here, these are sites that in particular has the movement of the dragon, flowing from the upper reaches down to the sea. Some buildings, avoid trapping the dragon and may have open spaces or clear glass panels to allow the dragon (and the dragon qi) to move downwards towards the sea.

Sites that can accumulate wealth are considered advantages here. You may need a good FS practitioner to review this. The other concept is how your building relates to the other surrounding buildings.

Each building can be considered or classified under a specific element. Thus one competitive advantage is to have your building generate wealth at the expense of other buildings.

Another point is that, `protect, protect, protect'. Buildings should be protected against any poison arrows aimed at it.

Currently it is very difficult for me to recommend any remedy unless, you are able to furnish more details or if possible pictures of surrounding building and your building for further comments.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
