I could tell you how many steps make up the streets rising like stairways, and the degree of the arcades\u2019 curves, and what kind of zinc scales cover the roofs; but I already know this would be the same as telling you nothing. The city does not consist of this, but of relationships between the measurements of its space and the events of its past\u201d. Italo Calvino (Invisible Cities, Einaudi 1972) brilliantly describes the essence of a city, expressed through the relationship between its spaces and the stories it has seen, in just a handful of lines. The fourth issue of humus\u00ae investigates this relationship."}
