Résumé
We are living in a period marked by intense urbanization —more
people live in cities that are getting larger and taking up more
territory. Urbanization also means that urban ways of life,
specifically urban ways of relating to time, space and affect
are dominant (1,2). Risk-taking and fear among youths who
practice extreme sports, “risky” activism, drug consumption and
delinquency, are becoming more prevalent in urban settings.
Although these forms of risk-taking are different from the
decision to follow or not follow public health guidelines, we can
nevertheless use them to understand how, in an urban world, our
relationship to time and affect is profoundly changing from what
we knew previously.
