The ways in which global city cores are being restructured to address the real and perceived threats of terrorist attacks are the focus of this paper, underlining the tensions between barricading and separating off strategic urban spaces, and the imperatives of maintaining flow, connectivity, and the appearance of «normality» in the cities. The ways of constructing security are as much about image and perception as physical barricades and high-tech surveillance systems since the new war on terror is more peculiar, including the convergence of unsettling fear, shadowy hypertechnology and unsuccessful inclusivity.

Abstract
The ways in which global city cores are being restructured to address the real and perceived threats of terrorist attacks are the focus of this paper, underlining the tensions between barricading and separating off strategic urban spaces, and the imperatives of maintaining flow, connectivity, and the appearance of «normality» in the cities. The ways of constructing security are as much about image and perception as physical barricades and high-tech surveillance systems since the new war on terror is more peculiar, including the convergence of unsettling fear, shadowy hypertechnology and unsuccessful inclusivity.File in questo prodotto:
