The modern city – the metropolis – is a site of movement. It is a place of exchange and transfer, of people, vehicles, materials and information, which ebb and flow through its infrastructure. The increasingly mobile dynamics and the use of transient and tensile urban forms, indicate the origins of a distinctly ‘nomadic’ experience of the metropolis.
