THE FOUNDATION OF NEW SERENISSIMA INSTITUTIONAL POLITICAL PATTERNS OF MEGA-CITIES STARTING FROM THE SECOND HALF OF XXIST CENTURY- THE BEGINNING OF XXII CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: Our paper proposes a brief exploration of future urban trends for the second half of XXIst century, with developments in the first half of XII century. Starting with an analysis of historical most successful patterns of political and institutional organization that past cities once embraced in order to insure hegemony over extended territories, and even building genuine thalassocratic and terrestrial empires, the paper will try to identify new modalities for future megalopolises to exert political power and dominance. Mega-cities of the future will adopt some elements and visions of past state-cities, enriching them, in the same time, with new urban, architectural and political concepts, appropriated to the new Meta-Antropocene Age. We’ll also make references to future transformation (once with augmentation of megacities political importance) of present “general mayor” and “municipal councils” institutions into consolidated, independent institutions (doge/dogessas, genuine governors of metropolises), meantime with recognition and adoption of metropolitan sovereignty, metropolitan citizenship and metropolitan military special forces. The future world, in this perspective, can be a world dominated by new actors (the state-cities, the imperial metropolises) that are emancipated from the state, shaping the future mega-urban century.
