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. |
