Design In and Against the Neoliberal City

Main Article Content

Abstract

The article intends to position the practice of contemporary design in the context of cities which have become battle fields within a globalization process fostered mainly by market interests. The author defines the post political condition of urban development and criticizes the post-planning approach. He warns that in the field of design, which until now has seen only a timid approach to urban topics, we might find an unexplored potential for the intentional (re)design of the space.
