Summary/Abstract: Just as time itself closely intertwines with space, so do mental and practical articulations of time constitute close context for intellectual spatial discourse. The considerations herein firstly outline the traditional geographical understanding of chorology as well as general comprehension of chronology. Secondly, calculations of time in selected civilizations and cultures are presented (African, Indian, Andean, Chinese, Greek, Japanese, Islamic). Thirdly, the concepts of temporality by R. Ingarden (including the idea of real time) and by K. Pomian (chronometry, chronology, chronography, chronosophy) are introduced. The final point of the study includes the proposal of working interpretation of chorometry, chorology, chorography and chorosophy in the urban contest, and the indicative identification of urban space of time (topochronometry, topochronology, topochronography, topochronosophy).
