随着世界日益城市化，城市密度的想象、概念和政治将变得越来越迫切，需要研究、政策、实践和行动。密度是这座城市如何被构思和理解的历史上的一个关键词，并牢牢地回到了全球城市议程上。然而，我们缺乏关于密度的地理是如何被定义、生存和争论的持续研究。本文发展了一种城市密度的拓扑学方法，考虑了密度政治化的主要方式，并考察了一个新兴的研究领域，该领域将密度的生活和政治理解为密集的异质性。
As the world increasingly urbanizes, the imaginaries, conceptions and politics of urban density will become increasingly urgent for research, policy, practice and activism. Density is a keyword in the history of how the city has been conceived and understood, and is firmly back on the global urban agenda. However, we lack sustained studies of how the geographies of density have been defined, lived, and contested. This paper develops a topological approach to urban density, considers key ways in which density has been politicized, and examines an emerging research area that understands the life and politics of density as intensive heterogeneities'.
