Pod lakonicznym tytułem książki kryje się próba sproblematyzowania i usystematyzowania współczesnej refleksji miejskiej. Czym jest miasto? Jak je czytać, oglądać, jak go doświadczać? Intuicyjnie znamy odpowiedzi, ale autorka je werbalizuje i porządkuje, pokazując jednocześnie, że w zależności od przyjętej perspektywy odpowiedzi te mogą i mają prawo być różne.
