Abstract

All everyday activities take place in space, and it is upon this that all information and knowledge revolve. The latter are the key elements in the organization of territories. Their creation, use, and distribution should therefore occur in a balanced way throughout the whole territory in order to allow all individuals to participate in an egalitarian society, in which the flow of knowledge can take precedence over the flow of interests.
