Overview
- Provides a theoretical contribution to the project for the city departing from an interpretation of real international situations
- Comparative analysis is made of the different cultural positions, which are not configured as simple recognition but as elements for the project
- The theme of the city is faced both from the spatial and the social point of view, beginning with minority elements which enable unusual categories to be singled out to deal with the city’s problems

About this book
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?
