Modern cities are characterized by the presence of different populations: in-habitants, commuters, city users and businessmen, performing activities and using the cities in specific ways. This paper focuses on some issues related to the quan-titative and qualitative definition of such populations as well as on the description of other groups of individuals living and consuming in the city: flâneurs, in par-ticular. Some questions regarding the process of identification with places, the multiple roles of the mobile populations and the possible conflicts among different groups are briefly outlined.
