This collection unfolds new urban research. The unlimited city extends to all urban practices: passers-by, tourists, sports players and the homeless who merge with indigenous people, settlers, prostitutes and workers to striate the common local space or resist administrative tasks. Research becomes central to this collective assemblage, transversing between times and hierarchies. A great experiment!
