Inside and Beyond the Human City

The lockdown that was implemented in many countries of the world between 2020 and 2021 has led some animal species that are unusual for this context to appear in cities, as well as others that are normally present to be increasingly perceived. Starting from the interest that these presences have aroused, the chapter analyses the possibilities and potentialities of a human-non-human rapprochement, even in non-domesticated forms, in an environment such as the urban one, which was traditionally the exclusive prerogative of the former. It also indicates some urban spatial contexts in which greater continuity with other species is in fact already in place and can be sustained.
