Photography has always contributed to shape our ideas of the metropolis. Definitions of what might be urban or not substantially depend on visual representation. The ongoing photographic series on urbanized territories displays the pendant condition of an urban-rural melange, that covers vast areas of the European continent, constricting in infrastructure corridors or tracing coastlines. It provides an independent method to unveil hidden but fascinating potentials and to tap into the promising condition of multiple pragmatic vicinities.
