La ciudad, la voz y el alma

I ask myself: is it possible to represent the city? If so, how? With which procedures and what methods? With planimetry, cartography, axonometry, panormnic views, like the views of Toledo by El Greco? Can the city be represented at the moment of its birth, during its development and growth until the historic center is drowned by the horrible peripheries? And, more importantly, is it possible to represent and express in some way the spirit of the city, the very "being"' of the city, the character, the color, the smell, the soul, the silence...?
