Introducing his book The Prospects of Cities at the beginning of the 2000s, John Friedmann wrote, “The city is dead. It vanished sometime during the 20th century.” He proposed calling the emerging forms of human habitat simply “the urban”. In fact, facing the acceleration of urbanization processes in the last 30 years, we have been looking relentlessly for new words capable of expressing what has been happening to cities: the endless city, the città diffusa, disurbia, outer city, rurban, dispersed urbanization, urban region, regional urbanization, mega-city-region, etc. What is clear is that the conceptual terms “city” and “metropolis”, with their hierarchical and dichotomous implications, are no longer useful for understanding what is happening to the spatial organization of society.
