Is a city just a group of buildings? Has this always been the case? And isit still the case? No, replies the author, reminding us that until the end ofthe 1500s the city was a way of life, i.e. a style of relations and not a set of«objects». Things change between the 1600s and the 1700s, when in theEncyclopedie, Diderot defines «city» as «a group of houses situated along thestreets». What about today? Based on a map of the city of Milan publishedin «Il Corriere della Sera», the author explains why we need to find anotherdefinition for the term «city», because our idea of the city no longer correspondsto what it really is.
