Through spatial images, social differences are petrified in urban space. The past milieux of social marginality then become landmarks of the present situation. Simultaneously, social divisions are defied through the complexity of significant places in the old town. Thus, social marginality can be differently contextualized or even denied. Practiced space and spatialized history are embedded in moral landscapes that are made of connections.
City is the place of man .
The city is is the place of man, firstly, by being the place where man is at home, where he dwells. Secondly, the city is the place of man by being the place of man s ontological origins, the place where he comes from. The city is not the place where man dwells in the sense that there are people who live in villages and others who live in cities. The city is not just one possible residence, a chance address. Rather, the fact that man dwells always involves the city and creates or produces such a material, spatial and social relationship that is the ground of the Dasein of the city.
