The moving about that the city multiplies and concentrates makes the city itself an immense social experience of lacking a place - an experience that is, to be sure, broken up into countless tiny deportations (displacements and walks), compensated for by the relationships and intersections of these exoduses that intertwine and create an urban fabric and place under the sign of what ought to be, ultimately, the place but is only a name, the city.
Michel de Certeau, The Practice of Everyday Life, trans. by Steven F. Rendall (Berkley, Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1984), p. 103
