Abstract
Ita/EnglIn the age of globalization, of intercontinental travels, of the spreading of the internet, cinema shows us how not only does not exist ONLY ONE model of development, but also that, among the possible and viable alternatives, Paris' model represents the best system of development. In the suburbs of many cities, the spreading of a SUB-urban model is still seen. It is characterized by stretches of small villas of North-American origin or by shabby barns of European-totalitarian origin of the 1920s or 1930s, which are linked through bundles of highways to business centers or huge megastores surrounded by endless parkings. At the same time, on the same planet, within the same economic system, millions of people daily live the pleasantness of the European traditional city’s system of streets, squares and blocks.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
