Abstract

Urban shape could be representation of social models. Nevertheless, especially in western capitalist society about shape of extended cities, “a hypothetical idea of an unusual urban shape, as latent as it’s plausible”, there’s a negative judgment, first of all the absence of the proximity worth and of those community worths represented by compact city. In historic city there’s before "monument", collective memory expression, around which cluster homes, in the extended cities the starting point are the homes, around which remains void, responsible to interpret the space public of a society made by monads. The need to reinterpret the void has become important also in consolidated city. Often here, the void is still in virtual form: just think of disused industrial buildings, born from the industrial economy crisis.
