Introduction
Live cities: film and media approaches to European cities
It is so difficult to talk about cities because cities are, actually, more images than words.
cities are so tied up with images, so expressed so images,
that language is not adequate enough. W. Wenders

Two different approaches taken from Michel de Certeau and Henri Lefebvre:

Models and points of view
