Do we still live in the city at all—or do we only go there when we have visitors? The old towns and city centres have long since ceased to be the city of everyday life. Thomas Sieverts made these observations to us 25 years ago. After all, most people spend most of their time in peri-urban spaces: they live in suburbia, work right behind the freeway interchange and spend their free time around the shopping mall. Yet the discussion today continues to focus often only on inner-city areas. So are we still often talking and discussing about the wrong city today?

As part of the symposium Zwischenstand der Zwischenstadt, Milica Topalović will give a lecture on agriterritories.
