The ‘urban’ To what degree is this inherited, “city-centric” dispositif of urban theory an adequate basis for deciphering contemporary transformations?

Proposition 1

The city is not a settlement type or a spatial form—but

  • ne element in a broader,

uneven process of urbanization (city vs. urban)

Proposition 2 Urban restructuring is not simply a mutation of city space but a multiscalar process of “implosion” and “explosion” that encompasses diverse territories, landscapes, scales and ecologies

Proposition 3 The “hinterland question” (and associated metabolic transformations) must be internalized into the very heart of the theory of urbanization

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Concentrated / extended urbanization a useful conceptual distinction for urban theory

slide-18
SLIDE 18

The agglomeration question concentrated urbanization The hinterland question extended urbanization

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Concentrated urbanization

the moment of implosion: node, agglomeration, metropolis, region

Extended urbanization

the moment of explosion:

  • perational landscapes that support

and result from agglomeration.
