there has been numerous evidences which categorically accounts the reactionary remarks of anarchism towards the practice of reductionist planning principles in modern era. however such criticism confined to the passive expression for bringing reversal from the utopian project of capitalist planning mechanism. later, the formulation ofpost modern theorieswhich brought a new revelation interms of redefining the conceptual logic of place and space synthesised from neo marxism and radicalism.hence, what role anarchism played in defining the order of life,function and place in city space?
Hello Vishal,
I would say that social anarchism is not a political ontology, but rather, a political philosophy. Political ontology has a place in the overall ontology of human life and some ontologies are bound to include political concepts. I have been out of that business for several years so I cannot direct you toward current events.
Best regards,

Hello Vishal,
Social anarchism implies the unknown since it implies the acceptance of a wide latitude of behaviors. When the unknown influences design of urban spaces, security becomes an important concern. We have seen the development of many gated communities with surveillance cameras to counteract the part of the unknown that tends toward the negative. Security is big business and many technological advances have found their way into building design to help control access. Card keys are prevalent in hotels where metal keys previously were used. Combination locks now can be reprogrammed from a central location and sent to a remote unit via satellite.
Buildings that are built around a central courtyard allow anyone to look out and see what is going on in the courtyard. This deters crime as criminals do not like to be seen.
I am not sure if this is the answer you want but as I understand the question, this is what I can contribute.
Best regards,
Marion
fantastic question , vishal
basically individual freedom is at the service of society and communities, it depicts the communitarian and cooperative aspects of anarchism. Social anarchism encompasses collectivist anarchism, anarchist communism, anarcho-syndicalism, and social ecology.
with respect to cultural classifications , it puts emphasis on collectivist rather than individualistic cultural practices and currently collectivist anarchism, mutualism , platformism , communalism, and inclusive democracy.
Hello Dimitris,
This was my original question. Why ontology and not philosophy?
Vishal, can you enlighten us?
Best regards,
Marion
