Abstract

Aldous Huxley’s Time Must Have a Stop (1944) is here re-read in the light of the topics addressed within Contesti’s special issue Urban and Territorial Resilience. Urbanism Facing Crisis. In order to address the multiple crises, the hidden paradigms are explored and urbanism’s relation to time spans is problematised in order to re-centre the role of life and ecosystems, unavoidably representing the foundations of any human activity. This short article also serves as an introduction to the book excerpts offered in the next pages.
