Urban transdisciplinarity and "urban variations"
The article explores urban transdisciplinarity and "urban variations". Urban transdisciplinarity is considered to be the interaction between different theories and practices. The article gives examples of a transdisciplinary approach to the "city" (from a classic novel, modern philosophy, street design projects, and urban theories). The author of the article points out that all urban variations are based on the interaction between philosophy, science, and practice. According to the author, the "city" should be viewed not only as an interdisciplinary theme, but also as a transdisciplinary one. It involves turning to the original practices (the morphology of the city, subculture, millionaires, beggars, opera audiences, etc.) and paying continuous attention to the bookshelf in order to find new theoretical interpretations. The author of the article thinks that during the process of studying the "city" a researcher should "read" civilizational processes using the city's squares, its streets, the audience in the theater, and see modernization changes in them. The author is of the opinion that the "city" for practical workers is mainly oriented on projects that people who live in cities find attractive. All "urban variations" integrate philosophy with urban practices and interdisciplinary research.
