Downloaden [Epub ] Fundamental Trends in City Development.
Urban and Landscape Perspectives, Volume 1.
By Giovanni Maciocco
The Reinvented City reflects on externity, the principal feature of a reinvented
city. Three fundamental trends of the city are investigated, "discomposed,"
"generic" and "segregated" phenomena with the loss of the city as a space of
social interaction and communication. The interpretative categories of externity
are the intermediate spaces, the counterspaces, the void, the edge, the territory
and the environment, places on which to base the future city project. Important
questions are posed: What is the true public sphere in contemporary societies?
What is the contemporary public space corresponding to it? In what way can
the city project construct contemporary public space?
