Many authors reflected in the 1990s on change in contemporary cities and the underlying reasons. The article examines some of the main theses which helped decipher the apparent disorder in contemporary urban realities in that period. It focuses on various aspects: the change in the concept of public space and in the ways in which it is used and vested with meaning and the increase in the processes of isolation and exclusion; the change in settlement forms in contemporary cities and the predominance of parts that are becoming increasingly more isolated and progressively less able to communicate and interexchange due to the presence of physical barriers or imagined walls. They consist of a great variety of phenomena and processes which represent the main issues that must be addressed by planning in the future.
