The question of motion in the city and the city in motion is, in fact, a question of the dialectical relation of man and the city (with its architecture). It is a question of being in a constant movement, in a permanent flow, a question of creating an algorithm for writing and reading the rhythm of the city (and its architecture), with its primary functioning principle (in analogy to social life), which is based on mobility and transience. The answer to the problem raised thereby concerns the issue of 'reading' the rhythm of the city and hence the dynamics of social changes using the metaphor of 'figures' moving through the city (starting with the stroll of a 19th century 'flaneur', through a situationist drift, and ending with the walk of a 'flaneuse' in the world of goods), as well as the illustration of peculiar urban and architectural projects, exemplifying setting the architecture and the city into motion. By pointing out the process of 'vivifying' the material world, a parallel is drawn to the motorics of an organism and a human body. The emphasis on 'motioning' the material world in order to be more and more adequate in dealing with human needs. The article proposes a reflection on reading social life within the rhythm of a 'revolutionary' architecture, which rejects its primary, so far, characteristic - stability.

The history of artificial light (kerosene, electric, LED) is at the same time the history of the origins of the urban landscape. Beginning with Benjamin's Passages, in which the light brings into view the enshrouded alleys of Paris, through numerous artistic projects of the 19th and the 20th century, M. Bille's anthropological and A. E. Stamp's behavioural studies, ending with the concept of the intensity of light as the indicator of the metropolitan potential of a given region of the world (e.g., NASA World Lights project), as well as an element of the anesthetisation of urban iconosphere (e.g., light and laser design), the light is also becoming an inherent element of research within urban and spatial studies. Usually, however, the subject of light occurs 'additionally', 'by the way', as a 'supplement', and not as the primary theme, i.e., the basic line of reflection and the mutual realm of presented ideas. Considering the fact that artificial light generated the phenomena unknown thus far (e.g., light pollution, over-illumination, etc.) and led to the modern victory of humanising and familiarising urban space (e.g., 'nightlife', traffic, etc.), it is, however, necessary to define its role within social processes, as well as its location in the realm of urban and spatial sociology interests, as equivalent in relation to other topics. The article is an attempt to 'rehabilitate' the subject of light within the realm of social sciences and to point out possible explanation paths concerning the reflection on 'cities of light'.
