- Summary:
- "What makes a city urban? In a way this is a primary question of the political. Given that polis means "city", literally speaking, the term political designates matters that pertain to life in town. Etymology is no substitute for actual experience of such matters. But it might open up a path to some of the experiences that a term got charged with in (what may have been) its original context of use. So if we accentuate the presence of polis in political and amp up its resonances, the question "how is this political?" will start to resonate with questions like "how does this matter to our life in the city?" or rather "how does this relate to the things that shape the way we live together in this place?" It's a city conversation. And as such it may be understood in technical terms as a concern with how to make things work, better, or at all, in places where people share space and spent time together. "How are we going to make this work, here, now?""-- provided by distributor.
