Spatial Asymmetries: Urban Peripheries in the Contemporary City. The Case of Milan

Authors: Stefanizzi S

Abstract

Asymmetries dominate the era in which we live and are shaping every aspect of human existence and our relationship with space. The asymmetry of spaces is the rule rather than the exception of metropolitan areas and constitutes their essential feature. In the contemporary city, spatial hierarchies are no longer produced by a centrifugal dilatation from the urban centre, but follow different and multiple directions. The processes of peripheralization are therefore no longer readable only as distance from a centre or as geographical marginality.
