Abstract
This paper presents and discusses the transformation of the contemporary city, and the camp in the context of emergency. The former is presented and discussed based on earthquake risk as emergency, and processes of risk-connected urban transformation as confinement mechanisms, leading to the displacement of inhabitants, redevelopment of neighborhoods, and erasure of urbanity. For the latter, it is the informal neighborhood and the self-organized camp of migrants, evaluated based on their potential of urbanity. The main question of this paper is the following: As processes of emergencies, and related (confinement) mechanisms transform the urban space radically today, (how) do people re-produce their spaces for themselves (across borders)?
