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.
