AnarCity investigates and designs the anarchistic city. A city without formal governance or pre-arranged collectivity. A city without rules. It aims to simulate the ultimate anarchistic situation and registers what, when and where does it go wrong. And where leads to better performances than the regulated city. The project is based on the use of interactive generative processes that are than tested on an abstract city model or a real city. It maps the growth in density in time in order to explore the relationship between density and anarchy.
