Grad i kultura
The City And Culture

Summary/Abstract: The text treats the issue of city as a culturological phenomenon. In the context of reconsideration of the city - from its death, ruins and slow atrophy, to the utopian visions of the city as an “organ of love” - it surveys relevant theories of both domestic and foreign authors. In the context of definition of the basic value of the city, the article also poses the dilemma related to the analysis of counter-natural urban techno-environment, on the one, and citizens and their existential, ludic and creative needs, on the other hand. Alienation and loneliness, instead of belonging and closeness to the city are still challenges not only of the contemporary city, but also of the world of culture, and the development of new urban spaces and phenomena immanent to it.
