Metropolis. Urban Mindscapes
In the present chapter, a contribution will try to be offered to the debate on the project of contemporary cities, through a trans-disciplinary approach, starting from a central point of view that often, when dealing with a project of urban space, is taken into marginal account: the psychological one. Is the psyche of contemporary human beings sufficiently prepared to live well in the cities we have built? Does it make sense to talk about smart cities, if people are still expecting to see their basic individual and collective needs resolved in the urban fabric? The text starts from an examination of the research state of the art, then continues with an analysis of the characteristics that contribute to recognizing an urban space as a place, highlighting a series of behaviors that could be deepened or used as a driver for the re-appropriation of the city.
