Paolo Guidicini
The development of western urban settlements has now reached a crucial stage, and is bound to face a dramatic change soon: the only possible outcome is a new model of urbanity, based on sharing, co-operation and a deep sense of belonging to the system itself. The speed at which this transition is taking place makes it unreasonable to expect any natural adjustment. It is therefore nowadays an absolute priority for the sociologist to investigate the process by which citizens develop their sense of belonging, sharing and co-operation with respect to the urban model they dwell in. This is of uttermost significance right now, at a time when countless factors seem to make participating in our urban model harder than ever before, both for urban residents and for everybody else.
