From a synthesis as to how Urban Geography conceptually proposed the understanding of widening and dispersion processes of cities, recent dynamics which characterize those are analyzed, using Italy as a reference. The observed transformations of the processes at hand are in fact related to the changes in the way of capitalist production as well as demographic evolution, further displaying the differences between diverse areas in the country. In this article, contemporary Italian cities are viewed as more or less extended territorial systems, whose relations of proximity, belonging to a continuous local space interact with multi-scale relations pertaining to yet another type of space: that which is discontinuous from the flows and the networks.
