The end of the city? “The report of my death was an exaggeration”-super-1

Peter Hall

City, 2003, vol. 7, issue 2, 141-152

Abstract: Do contemporary communications cumulatively undermine the city, culminating in its end? Peter Hall's survey of the available evidence lends support to the claim for the continuing relevance of agglomeration as the “urban glue”. He explores the extent to which telecommuting supplements rather than supercedes face‐to‐face interaction. The classification of urban forms requires, Hall argues, the updating and modification but not the displacement of traditional theories of location. The city survives, then, but Hall's account of urban polarization—a continuing concern of City, which he touches on but does not develop—suggests that it may not be in good health.
