Disguised and/or underestimated by media and even theoretical and political thought as just “conflicts”, what is visible is that a war keeps continuing as the exercise of politics. And when this concept of war and politics is thought in an urban planning context, it serves to maintain the political dimension of everyday life impenetrable to disruptive and constitutional forces.EnglishopenAccessconferenceObject338-345
