Resumo (PT):

Abstract (EN): To reflect on the Philosophy of the city and its increasing relevance, while bearing in mind its amplitude, I sought, within the scope of this chapter, to highlight a particularity that I believe is fundamental for understanding this topic and philosophical subfield: the spatial repositioning of philosophy, in particular political philosophy. To this end, I have tried, first, to emphasise the trend in modern political philosophy of reducing politics to the institutional and state level, which results in a dissociation between policy-making and city-building. The second aim was to demonstrate – in an age of global urbanisation where, for better or for worse, the city once again takes centre stage – that acknowledgement of the spatial dimensions of power and resistance leads to the revaluation of the classic principle of public philosophy.
