Abstract

The Metropolitan Approach to Complexity. Regarding the Großsstadt of the last century, I have to point out a discontinuity. That is why we say that we are dealing with a Post- Metropolis Era, and not with a polycentric city. Instead, nowadays, Metropolis is a net-city. It is not only referring to nodes and poles but the space in between the infrastructure – the body of space, as G. Shane called it in 2005 – which we have to reconceptualise. Nevertheless, we are not referring to a conurbation, but we have to understand a new entity with a new DNA, and we need new tools to comprehend and design it.
