Short summary
In Après la ville, Pierre Veltz offers a perceptive analysis of the profound transformations reshaping 21st‑century cities and urban spaces. He argues that the morphological definition of the city — and the radioconcentric model that structured 20th‑century urban studies — has now become obsolete. Indeed, thanks to increasingly dense networks and territorial ramifications linking major cities, the urban condition now asserts itself everywhere.
