Sommario/riassunto

As urban dwellers travel to work, home and play they carve random or predictable pathways across neighbourhoods and districts. This book investigates the urban capacity for movement, the city as a space of circulation, by taking into account not only the physical displacement



of people, but also the circulation of cultures, things, and ideas.
