TOPICS

Periphery: the periphery is the opposite of a core area; it is the edge of a city, region or country. "Peripheral" also describes something that is considered unimportant. Topos 98 focuses on these diverse facets.

How inner and outer edges can become integrated in urban network? How urban peripheries and landscapes can be shaped in a way that allows them to maintain and develop their own identity? We offer you interesting insights into these questions.
