Revisiting the nonplace Urban Realm: Have we come full circle?
Melvin Webber's seminal papers of 1963/64, which posited the arrival of a Nonplace Urban Realm and called upon planners to abandon their obsession with space, have proved highly prescient: metropolitan areas have deconcentrated and spread as he suggested, and the arrival of the informational age further reinforces these trends by creating a spaceless economy. But urban agglomeration economies do continue to operate, and traditional urban nodes will remain important in the new space-economy.
