Urbi et suburbi
Diagrams/maps FWC compare program characteristics and levels of (in)accessibility in Center and City, and show an increasing trend of the reduction of public spaces in both city areas.
Monoprogramatic dimension of the City (consumption - shopping, leisure, entertainment...) makes that area accessible, but accessible for a very limited ways of behaviour. Beside the fact, that even within the City all the traffic is done by mobile devices and that there is no square which would be a scenography for the meeting of people, the City is completely controlled and regulated by private surveillance company.

The Center is passing through the process of fragmentation. Power and representative institutions are visual fortresses communicating unwelcomness. Private dwellings are nonaccessable areas...
