(...) The crisis of the too-big city is the other side of the crisis of nature. The image of the “megalopolis”, the continuous, uniform city that covers the world, also dominates my book. But there are many books that prophesy catastrophes and apocalypses; writing another would be pleonastic, and above all, it does not suit my temperament. What matters to my Marco Polo is to discover the secret reasons that have led men to live in cities, reasons that can be valid beyond all crises (Calvino, 1972:6).

Personal communications. Private letters, memos, electronic communications – mail, undocumented discussion group messages or announcements – personal interviews, telephone conversations and the like; Since they do not provide retrievable data, they will not be included in the bibliography.
