L’erraticità della centralità. Valori simbolici e valori monetari nella città di Palermo

Abstract

The center of the city could be considered as the urban meta-sign from which each part of the city takes his urban monetary significance, and it can also be joined to the isomorphic chain linking Zero, Vanishing Point and Money. The center of the city is naturally erratic and follows the urban transformation, producing monetary differentials corresponding to differentials of quality of the localization. The case study of Palermo is analyzed showing the creation of the center of the city, its translation and its (monetary) evaluation in the contemporaneous city.
