Today, the increasing mobility of capital, people and information
has changed the space relations of urban societies. Contractual
relations have increased in every field of social life: in the
economic field, but also in the political, and in creative and
scientific areas. Contracts are not only legal frameworks or
economic aggregates of individuals, but socially embedded forms.
The concept of urban contract proposed in this book combines the
theoretical body of economic-juridical literature on the contract
with that of historical-anthropological and socio-spatial
literature on the city. Through a diverse range of ten city case
studies, The Urban Contract compares European, North-American and
Asian Urban Contracts. It concludes with a theoretical proposal for
understanding the deep dialectical nature of Contract Cities: their
reciprocity and competition, their dual trend towards growth and
decay, their cyclical nature as agents of change and disruption of
the social forms of urbanity.
