Abstract

This paper explores the change from idealized hierarchical model of urban structure to networked model and the interplay of two professions, architects and geographers. Master planning processes of the City of Tampere are used as an example both on the development of urban form and on the partial collapse of hierarchical service network. Some preconditions for planning of the network city are also discussed.
