The volume brings together contributions by both leading scholars and young academics with a particular experience in the urban potential of the territory in situations not necessarily linked to the dense metropolis, its compact form or to city sprawl. What brings these scholars together is their common reflection on this central theme, though from varied disciplinary and experimental backgrounds. Leading academics like A. Mela (Prof. of Territory and Environment Sociology, University of Turin), S. Tagliagambe (Prof. of Philosophy and Science, University of Sassari), G. Maciocco (Dean of the Faculty of Architecture and Planning, Alghero, Italy) and P. Pittaluga have accumulated long-time experience in developing environmental approaches within Philosophy, Sciences, Environmental Planning and Art. Researchers like I. Doucet, N. Janssens and K. Boon in their turn bring in approaches related to specific European contexts.

From the reviews: "The book is characterised by a considerable breadth of perspectives, which makes the reading a highly intellectual journey through discourses, concepts and partly empirical findings on the territorial future of the city. ... the book presents a number of common grounds and inspiring ideas and concepts. ... This makes the book particularly attractive for Master's and PhD students, as it offers some inspiring examples of how to research the territorial future(s) of the city." (Peter Schmitt, Journal of Housing and the Built Environment, Vol. 24, 2009)
