This contribution explores urban visibility as a site of tension, selection, and conflict, where power shapes what is shown, valued, or erased. Drawing on six case-based and theoretical contributions, this issue of the newsletter highlights how contemporary cities are contested terrains where categories such as visibility and invisibility, decorum and decay, inclusion and exclusion are constantly negotiated, often coexisting, overlapping, and colliding. The city emerges as a space of competing legitimacies, also inhabited by silences, absences, and urban ghosts that unsettle dominant narratives and are systematically excluded from what is allowed to be seen.

Abstract
This contribution explores urban visibility as a site of tension, selection, and conflict, where power shapes what is shown, valued, or erased. Drawing on six case-based and theoretical contributions, this issue of the newsletter highlights how contemporary cities are contested terrains where categories such as visibility and invisibility, decorum and decay, inclusion and exclusion are constantly negotiated, often coexisting, overlapping, and colliding. The city emerges as a space of competing legitimacies, also inhabited by silences, absences, and urban ghosts that unsettle dominant narratives and are systematically excluded from what is allowed to be seen.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
