Cities as World Fractal Crossroads
Journal Title: Лабиринт. Журнал социально-гуманитарных исследований - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The article is dedicated to the phenomenon of urban fractality. The topographical, architectural, visual and symbolic space of the city and that of the capital in particular is considered as a fractal structure of several types and scales. A city with a long history always contains patterns of geometrical and conceptual fractals. Furthermore, both old and new cities demonstrate active processes of autopoiesis and outer recursive linking – in symbolic borders of the country or the world. The study investigates inner fractal forms of the city space, analyzes specific features of the city as a national fractal, reveals proxemic mechanisms of modern urban culture and town-planning that turn the cities into fractal models of the world.
