The acronym CRIOS means “Critica agli ordinamenti spaziali” (Critics to spatial orders). As suggested by the title, the journal wants to take the spatial orders as a complex field within which settlement cultures and politics measure with contemporary city’s dissipative energies. The process is based on a new and unusual idea, composed by three “challenges” (Beyond democratic decision, Beyond tolerance, Beyond sustainability), in a direct speech with the international research. It contains articles in Italian, English and French.
