A space of exchange, which denes the city and its relevance. A space that s9mulates ideas regarding sustainability in the city, i.e. its impact on the future, its iden9ty and its capacity to be maintained long term / in the long run. The city space develops an interchangeable, adaptable, evolu9onary and reproducible language which supports the interac9on between the inhabitants and those who just pass through.
Senseable city Urban scenographies Appercep9on: space-9me Public percep9on, not only visible but also accessible
We are facing a new way of building and perceiving the environment. The way we describe and understand ci9es has completely changed.
The ideal city should be an ar9culated succession of public places well set, giving visual coherence and organiza9on to the jumble of buildings, streets and space that generate and host social prac9ces.

The urban landscape, among its many roles, is also something to be seen, to be remembered, and to delight in. The Image of the City, Kevin Lynch
Wouldnt be more appropriate to talk about appercep<on instead of percep<on, regarding city space?
David Cousin-Marsy
The city has dened itself, since its origin, as a double territory with two specici9es: to form a delimited space, and within that limited space, to connect to other territories. The elements of the city evolve in 9me allowing its territory to grow out of its geographical and tangible limits. As a delimited space it develops a public percep9on, not only visible (with the right to be overseen) but also accessible (with the right to be visited and experienced) by its inhabitants.

[] Studying maps implies dealing not only with ar9facts although some9mes maps are not material objects, but are embedded in spoken language or mental schemes but also with the informa9on they convey, and with their eec9veness as tools for knowledge and ac9on. [] An authorita9ve, ontological power: simply drawing a world as it is, as it should be, as it cannot be other than it is depicted; drawing the world as a society, a cultural milieu, or professional users (travelers, traders, etc.) need it to be.
