Description
The gradual shift from a cyclical pre-modern city towards the modern "bacteriological city" reveals that, rather than a clear sequence of changes, there is in fact phased, overlapping and frequently contradictory set of developments. The term "bacteriological" in this instance denotes the replacement of the organic city by a far greater penetration of capital and scientific expertise into the governance of urban space. Yet this characteristic urban form emerging out of the governmental dilemmas of the industrial city masks a diversity of different elements, structures and ideologies, and other concepts are revealed through the political contestation of social and spatial inequalities emerging within urban space.
The bio-political dynamics of the modern city originate within an extending nexus of hybridized relations between the body, nature and urban space, so the structure of the city tends towards a cyborgian synthesis between the psychological needs of the human body and the physical structure of the city. The idea of a "cyborg city" can be invoked in this sense as a technological enhancement of urban life that involves an increasingly elaborate intersection between nature and culture in the urban arena.
