Abstract

In recent years, many new (or reactivated) concepts of the city have appeared, with varying degrees of codification and systematization. Based on a review of the academic literature, the author attempts to answer the question: are demographic issues taken into account in creating the conception of the city and to what extent? We conclude that, just as in the processes of urbanization, demographic trends are intertwined with economic, social, ecological and political ones, demographic issues are also becoming an increasingly important element of the most popular recent conceptions of the city.
