The book is structured into twenty-nine essays, each dedicated to a pair of urbanistic concepts.
Discussing historical and contemporary, interpretive and designerly approaches to urbanity, the notions composing the 29 pairs relate dialectically, as theses-and-antitheses. Still, we are warned, the presented antagonisms are not a priori in opposition, but rather complementary.
