8.3.11

Requestioned

The working title remains the same as this blog. The question is now really two:

What is the relationship between the city and its rural periphery in the post-modern metropolis? How do people reconfigure the city by their movement? 

I'm interested it the scale of movement, the type of movement and the qualities of the journey in relation to the places linked. What is achieved by the movement? Can we understand this further through notions of liminalty, phenomenology and heuristic research? Can this understanding be used to build resilience into a changing city? Will peak oil/climate change effect (or affect) the scale and density of the city.
