C’est l’urbanité, au sens large, qui est en jeu dans ces fluctuations de la perception, dans ces transitions du sensible, engendrant une esthétique mineure.

Il s'agit ici d'essayer de comprendre à la fois ce qui fait saison en ville et, en même temps, d'élargir l'idée même de saison au-delà des quatre périodes repérées dans les climats tempérés. Architectes, urbanistes, géographes, anthropologues, sociologues et philosophes questionnent, sous différents angles, les accords et les disjonctions des situations et des processus matériels et symboliques contemporains, qui se différencient par leurs cycles, rythmes, et durées.
