Overview

In 2004, Manuel de Solà-Morales and an elite group of urban experts presented the exhibition "Cities, Corners" to highlight the value of con- temporary urbanity at The International Forum of Cultures, in Barcelona. In this exhibition of urban settings around the world (including Times Squa- re, a Parisian café, Shibuya and Piccadilly Circus, among many others), the meaning of the "corner" was extended beyond its purely geometric con- dition in relation to buildings to a wider scope in which cities themselves were considered social, economic, cultural and political intersections.
