Abstract
The history of philosophy and urban thought makes it evident that there are several ways to define cities. However, there are no popular views holding that cities do not exist. While this paper does not make this claim per se, it shows there are significant reasons that allow such a position to advance. In turn, examining this view provides several insights into the nature of cities and exposes the challenges they face due to issues such as vast socioeconomic inequalities, widespread ecological degradation, and global climate change. Along with making this case, the author investigates steps to move toward progress regarding such challenges.
