Italian term or phrase: segmenti di spazio-tempo mercificabili
A tricky one...

Vale infine la pena leggere per esteso come queste compagnie chiedono ai potenziali clienti di immaginare l’esperienza della città nel futuro prossimo, in sostanza qualcosa di scomponibile in segmenti di spazio-tempo mercificabili

consumable/commodifiable segments of space and time

I guess I'm not really sure what the exact question is here. There's lots of ways to say this. "space/time consumables", "easily-digested bits of space and time", "merchandisable moments and goods", etc.

agree  James (Jim) Davis: commodifiable, not consumable. Mustn't eat the space. // The consumer price index includes everything in the supermarket and more. A commodity/una merce is anything that can be sold. Basically these are markets.

  -> consumable goes beyond food and bev, including diapers and the like :) // That and we 'consume' social media these days
