Description
Summary:This paper attempts a redefinition of the concept of boundary from a territorial-urban view. Redefining a boundary involves reviewing its definitions from different disciplinary fields in order to build a own definition that serves to interpret the city through its structures or systems of limits. In the contemporary city a twin expression of boundaries exist in urban morphology. On one hand, the processes of planning and metropolization and the explosion of urbanized society that is widespread and dispersed, and which has reverted the city to a state of incomprehensibility. On the other hand, there is the original idea of the division-limit, expressed in the social space where social conflict is an increasingly dominant pattern that strengthens the divisions of urban space.
