Städer, begrepp och perspektiv – ett ordnat kaos
(2024) In META Historiskarkeologisk tidskrift 2024. p.168-181- Abstract
- This article is an investigation into towns, concepts and perspectives of towns. The concepts of urbanization, urbanism and urbanity all goes back to the Latin word urbs, thereby carrying a bias from Antiquity. Both present and past concepts demonstrate a range of expectations to certain settlements and a confusing use of language. Criteria reflect a choice of perspective and accessible sources. Five different perspectives have dominated the urban discourse. However, there can only be common concepts if a specific perspective is applied. The present orderly chaos of criteria, concepts and perspectives are preferable.
