Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
The A. analyses the city as ideology through reconciling the explosion of the city form with the tenacity of the city concept. To do so, he examines the three tropes of the traditional city which in material terms have been superseded in recent decades in the Global North but retain their force as ideological representations of contemporary urban spatial practice : the opposition between city and country, the city as a self-contained system, and the city as an ideal type.
