Abstract
The Chinese Belt and Road Initiative is at once one of the most suggestive expressions of the Global Infrastructuring processes of Planetary Urbanization (Brenner, Schmid 2012) and a litmus test of the new geological era, the Anthropocene, since on the one hand it strengthens international cooperation, providing a great opportunity for development, and on the other provokes the overturning of territories. This work aims to investigate the spatial transformations generated by the construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt and XXI Century Maritime Silk Road, a phenomenon so macroscopic that it only takes on significance when observed on a global level.
The hypothesis of this work is that studying the BRI as a case of the Global Infrastructure may underlines some of the main contemporary spatial issues concerning the Anthropocene as the actual effect of Planetary Urbanization
