This research proposal has been inspired by one main polemic: Do cities have limits, and if they do - what is the new understanding of a city and city scale? That is, how far can cities expand horizontally, and how far can buildings be built vertically? The question is not only oriented in terms of the actual borders of a city, but also city in terms of its historical, socioeconomic and geopolitical scope. I will use Rome as a case study to investigate this question because it envelops all the noted issues, and also dates back to ancient times; it is a city that to this day remains Vatican City inside of it.
