The city of the twenty-first century has been understood as a new type of territorial reality, one for which Ascher has proposed the term ‘metapolis’. This concept synthesizes the unprecedented images that have been applied to, and are present in, new urban landscapes, and which have also become a way to comprehend the current processes and contradictions of territorial transformation. Using the specific case of Andalusia, we consider the metapolis as a series of fragments, on many different scales, of a single urban reality that is scattered across the entire territory of the region. Résumé La ville du XXIe siècle a été comprise comme une nouvelle réalité territoriale, pour laquelle Ascher a proposé le terme de métapolis. Nous croyons que ce concept synthétise l'ensemble d'images inconnues présentes dans les nouveaux paysages urbains. Ces images sont devenues une source d'information pour la compréhension des actuels processus de transformation territoriale et leurs contradictions. Dans le cas spécifique de l'Andalousie on considère le métapolis comme une série de fragments de la même réalité urbaine dispersés par tout le territoire de la communauté
