Abstract

To understand urban processes as processes of communication, we need to think how the media has turned into a constitutive part of urban life and also think as fears have lately been incorporated in the new communication processes. Then arises the need to confront two equally serious prejudices: one that comes from communication scholars and other that comes from violence and fear experts.
