Abstract
HIERNAUX, Daniel. Repensar la ciudad: la dimensión ontológica de lo urbano. LiminaR [online]. 2006, vol.4, n.2, pp.7-17. ISSN 2007-8900. https://doi.org/10.29043/liminar.v4i2.207.
The recent changes in cities generate new and different interpretations. Few authors, however, are facing the fundamental question: Are we still facing what traditionally was called a “city”? This paper focuses on the ontological dimension of the city. Therefore, it refers to three dimensions: the labyrinth, the fortuitous, the fleeting, whose articulation integrates the essence of the urban. Not all the actually urbanized space responds to this model; therefore we need to refer to proposals like Louis Wirth’ urban way of life, for example to reformulate urban policies.
Keywords : ontology; city; labyrinth; fortuitous; fleeting.
