The text explores the concept of a “theology of the city” through a historical and religious analysis that begins with a reflection on the foundational ambivalence of cities. The role of cities in biblical and Christian history is examined, highlighting how they have been both places of power but also spaces of hope and redemption. The paper examines the current challenges of contemporary cities and how these can be resolved by limiting the hegemony of supply and rediscovering a sense of community and sharing.
