Wiki Content

This wiki has been set up for the purpose of developing the first introductory section of the New Metropolitan Mainstream book in a collaborative writing form. During the discussion in Vienna a narrative approach was adopted as the most suitable way to introduce the book,  telling the story of how the NMM common research project developed on the background of the general INURA story, and connecting the main critical issues and theoretical debates which accompanied the elaboration of the project with the main events marking it.

The wikit is structured in the following sections:


 * Timeline, reconstructing the main steps of both the network and the common research project.
 * Theoretical / political issues  gathering the main points of discussions and critical issues among the members of  INURA.
 * the New Metropolitan Mainstream discussion
 * Categories, an archive of documents regarding the definition of analytical categories for the mapping excercise.
 * References, an index of publications and documents related to the INURA activity and the NMM project.
 * NMM introduction,  drafting the actual Chapter 1 of the book drawing on the above quoted collection of materials.
 * a section is added to contain  guidelines and working papers regarding  also other chapters of the book and the mapping process at large.
