Urban sociology is in a phase of reconsideration of the paradigms that have characterized it for a good part of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century. Today the relaunch of the discipline strongly depends on the questioning of dichotomies such as ur-ban vs. rural, center vs. periphery, local vs. global, and the acceptance of a more complex and original articulation of the constituent parts of social phenomena at the territorial level. In par-ticular, this contribution proposes a reflection that, starting from the concept of archipelago, redesigns the urban in a perspective where the concept of periphery loses the meaning usually attributed to it, to be replaced by that of polycentrism. This approach does not deny the im-portance of the territories and the geo-referencing of the phenomena, but frames them in a broader and geometrically variable perspective.
Keywords: urban theories, urbanization, suburbs, polycentrism, urban archipelago, research methodology
