The streets of this city have no names. There is of course a written dress, but it has only a postal value, it refers to a plan (by districts and by blocks, is no way geometric), knowledge of which is accessible to the postman, not to the visitor: the largest city in the world is practically unclassified, the spaces which compose it in detail are unnamed.
