Abstract

The article deals with the “nature" of development, the paradigm of which, unlike the growth, is non-linear. However, the predominant projection of ideas of development (expansion), including projections on a map, is still the line in its various drawings.
Thinking in lines is not harmless: it can reduce a significant content of development ideas; at the level of plans (which are always linear), it can transfer the intension of development into a sequence of emasculated actions. The article emphasizes a special type of spatial consciousness and discourse, which generates the ideas of “linear cities”, large-scale linear projects (New Silk Road, etc.). It talks about the possibilities and conditions of a different conceptualization of such ideas.
