Everyday life has been long analysed in the humanities and so has been the urban space. Even if these two strands of research have repeatedly overlapped\, focusing on everyday life in the city seems to require much more than their collaboration.
\nPhilosophy together with its potential to ask fundamental questions concerning aesthetics\, environment\, ethics\, politics\, society\, technology\, law etc. offers a good ground to consider the particular nexus between everyday life and the city as one of the major factors shaping the world.
