In a lecture dedicated to “the urban question”,Giorgio Agamben characterized modern spatial transfor-mations in terms of moving from the city, as a traditionalform of spatial organization, to the metropolis. =is processcoincides, according to the Italian philosopher, with thebirth of modern biopolitics, specialized in producing andmanaging the bare life. Agamben’s metropolis is a space ofindistinction, another materialization (beside camp) of stateof exception, an area of delocalizing localization, associatedby representatives of the urban studies with a neoliberalcity of zero tolerance. Negative analysis of (urban) biopo-litics by Agamben has its reverse side in form of metropo-lis theory formulated by Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt.A similar starting point – a description of the metropolisexposed to the mechanisms of biopower, an assumption ofits boundlessness and heterotopic character, an abolishmentof dixerence between private and public space - leads themto the contrary, a rmative, due to the dixerent approachof biopolitics, conclusions. According to Negri, the metro-polis is to the multitude what the factory was to the industrialworking class. Multitude usually takes place in urban areas,aiming at their democratic transformation. It $lls the emptyspace after the working class - urban actor privileged byHenri Lefebvre - and takes over the right to the city, carriedout in acts of its constant reproduction. =e article aims athighlighting points of intersection and fundamental dixe-rences presented in both visions of biopolis. It argues thatbiopolitical resistance, linked to the cultural productivityof urban subject, involves the creation of place in Agam-benian non-place of sovereign power
