Cities can be considered as living organisms. They have their own organs and tissues, working together to maintain themselves in similar ways to biological systems (i.e., they can be described as autopoietic or self-generating). Think for example about the transportation system of a city and compare it to the circulatory system of a living organism, delivering goods and people throughout the city. We can also compare the waste management system of a city to the excretory system of a living organism, removing waste and toxins from the city, just like the excretory system removes waste from the body. Additionally, the buildings and infrastructure of a city are similar to the skeleton and muscles of a living organism. Â This concept dates back to the 17th century, when the philosopher Thomas Hobbes wrote Leviathan (1651) to describe the way in which state power was brought to life; indeed, the cover of the book cover represented a giant monarch whose body was constituted by many different people. The concept was further expanded in the following centuries, up to the current age, when systems theorist Niklas Luhmann (1995) wrote about how social systems reproducing and maintaining themselves. Â This series visually explores these concepts. Routes is the third work of âLiving Citiesâ series The street map of London juxtaposed to the scheme of the nervous system of the pelvic region. Both the road network and the nervous system are used to connect places and transmit information/materials from one place to the other. They are of vital importance for the correct working of the organisms (cities and of humans). 3 version of the work are available. Â Digital collage
