Maximum City: Solitudes and Presence
Abstract
Informations and abstract
Keywords: Cities; Geographies; Urbanization; Integration; Marginality.
The variation of net-geographies has started characterizing the physical geography. Today, the sense of multiple belonging has become a continuous practice that helps to explore the world. Such exploration, made possible by web storage capacity, recording and processing, is encouraged by a kind of unique flywheel that links the various differences. Planetary urbanization, if looked from this perspective, makes the concepts of integration, dominance or marginality acquire a different meaning, since the boundaries are no longer drawn from centres of gravity and hierarchies, but by dense networks of relationships.
