A presença da lentidão na cidade e seus efeitos no pensamento urbano contemporâneo

Abstract

This proposal continues a discussion of the Brazilian geographer Milton Santos (1926 – 2001) regarding to the political scope of urban slowness. Mapping a specific and contemporary urban thought, the essay presents an outlook of the possible effects of this discussion in the knowledge economy, creating conceptual alliances. This diagram indicates connections between slowness and the multiple rhythms imposed to urban thought as it shows the urgency of slow-down.
