The article deals with the process of shaping modern city space. The author points to the following questions related to the development of post-modern metropolises: suburbanization and the disappearance of city centers, shopping malls as miniature city spaces, fringe cities as exopolis, i.e. reversed cities, and the process of thematization in the streets of famous metropolis. All the above-mentioned spaces called non-cities are characterized by the policy of exclusions, excesses of history produced for the sake of social spectacle and collective consumption. Non-cities are also objects of speculation, major construction, i.e. corporate public spaces.
